History of Bundeena
Bundeena was originally inhabited by the Dharawal Aboriginal people. The town's name is said to be an Aboriginal word meaning 'noise like thunder,' a reference to the waves crashing on the beaches of the town. Bass and Flinders were the first Europeans to explore the area, however it was not until 1832 that the first land grants were issued and the town began to take shape. The untouched expanse of bushland to the south of the town was given national park status in 1879, making the Royal National Park Australia's oldest park.
