Eight Days in Kamay

On April 29 1770, Dharawal people saw HMB Endeavour sail into Kamay (Botany Bay). 

To mark the eight days when the Endeavour was anchored at Kamay (29 April – 6 May 1770), we partnered with the Gujaga Foundation on a series of lectures sharing Dharawal perspectives on this significant event 252 years ago and the continuation of Dharawal culture today.
