This pleasant stroll along a concrete footpath leads through a historically significant section of Kamay Botany Bay NP.

As the walk continues down to and along the waterfront you will pass the actual landing site for the Endeavour in 1770. You also pass a series of monuments to different men on the ship, including Captain Cook. There are also plenty of information signs to give further insight into the impacts of the Aboriginal people of the area. A lovely stroll with the chance to grab a snack at the end. This walk can be started at either end, you can allow extra time and return the same way if you prefer.
