Captain Cook's Landing Place
Never been to this side before but it was a great place for a walk and a little bit of history. There are plenty of things to read along the track and weather (when we went) was beautiful with a little breeze. Lots of families having a picnic during easter long weekend but still a quiet and well kept place. Enjoy the trees and paths as well as the view of the water. If you park through the Centre gates there is a car entry fee, but on the streets towards the beach, no parking fee, so it can get busy. Would definitely come back.

Captain Cook`s landing place is the site where Captain James Cook first stepped onto the Australian continent. A commemorative obelisk stands opposite the rock where he is believed to have landed with his crew. A plaque also commemorates the 200th anniversary of Cook`s landing and historical re-enactment.Nice to walk along the beach, seeing sculptural and rocks. Plenty of picnic space. Recommended !!!

Must visit place from historical point of view. The landing place of Captain Cook who 'discovered' Australia. Nice protectrd forest reserve and beach with an obelisk commemorating Captain Cook's arrival. The view of harnour and airport is good . The whale skeleton sculpture is appropriate. Hesvily wooded area with very tall Aurucaria trees. Usual amenities of wash rooms and parkings and picnic benches and shades.

Large monument to the first founder of Australia. Well maintained & well informed thanks to the plaques and info boards nearby.

Nice place to go swimming when the water is warm surprisingly. Nothing too interesting to see, just some ships and Sydney city, occasional plane. The local people didn't seem very friendly.

It's always a good site to check out the birthplace of the nation ... no disrespect to those that have come before European settlers.

I've seen where he died in Hawaii, and now I I've seen where he landed. Truly amazing place to be the same spot as this great navigator

A coastal view of Kurnell with significant Australian history. Some amazing walks with beautiful flora and fauna around as well as wide open spaces for picnics and play. $8 entry National Parks fee for admission which covers access and parking. It is unfortunate that the visitor centre is closed at this point in time.

Captain Cook's Landing Place is a historical site located in Sydney, Australia, where Captain James Cook first landed in 1770. The site features a statue of Captain Cook, a plaque commemorating the landing, and an interpretive board explaining the significance of the location.While the site itself is relatively small and simple, it holds great significance for Australian history as the site where the first European contact with the continent occurred. The site is also situated within Kamay Botany Bay National Park, which offers beautiful coastal scenery and hiking trails.
