Near the place where Captain James Cook first set foot on Australian soil in 1770.
It’s a nice area on the southern shore of Botany Bay, isolated enough for it to be easy to pretend you’re nowhere near Sydney. There’s almost a small coastal town vibe to Kurnell even though it’s only 22 kilometers from the city centre.
(I’ve also noted from these images how badly my camera needs a clean…)

New South Wales Police maintained a strong presence throughout the day, and just before 2:00 on Sunday morning (November 6), the protesters were instructed to move on or face the possibility of arrest.
The protesters held out until the last minute before leaving the park. Members of the NSW Police Force followed the group for several blocks to ensure that they dispersed.
The rally was mostly peaceful, but tense. Six protesters were arrested for various offences during the day.

It’s been pissing down in Sydney for four continuous days. So it was nice to see a bit of sunlight in the city today…
