A Good Time In Bundeena


On 6 September I went to Bundeena for an excursion with my classmates and other from level 3 and fulltime class.
It was a suitable day for going out because the temperature was great and the sun wasn't strong. Firstly my classmates and I met my teacher Marion at Cronulla station, then we had a lovely short walk along the small quiet clean street to Cronulla Public Wharf in such fresh air. Then we took photos with the beautiful sea view and enjoyed the cool sea wind and the sea smell. Secondly we took 20 minutes journey to across the big blue sea and looked at those luxury houses just beside the bank of the sea.They are our dream houses!! It took us 30 minutes to walk along the Jibbon beach and through the Royal National Park to reach the famous Dharawal Engravings. They are such amzing engravings and they could be from 200 to about 5 000 years old.The Dharawal people lived here possibly 30 000 years or more.
As soon as we were backward there was a big shower suddenly, maybe it was the Dharawal people were saying welcome to us! Anyway it was so strong but wasn't take long. Finally we walked to a club to have a delicious lunch.
After all most people went home by train but some students and I stayed Cronulla for a window shopping.
What a great time!!

There are such beautiful beaches at Bundeena are Jibbon Beach, Bonnie Vale Beach, Gunyah Beach and Horderns Beach.
