Bundeena, New South Wales

Bundeena is a village and suburb on the outskirts of southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

Bundeena is located 29 kilometres (18 miles) south of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the Sutherland Shire.

Bundeena is adjacent to the village of Maianbar and lies on the southern side of Port Hacking, opposite the suburbs of Cronulla and Burraneer.

[3] Bundeena may be reached by passenger ferry from Cronulla or by road through the Royal National Park from Sutherland or Waterfall.

Many residents see the deer as pests, but they are a protected species, although the National Parks & Wildlife Service are permitted a small yearly cull.

[4] Bundeena is an Aboriginal word meaning "noise like thunder" (presumed to be a reference to the sound of the waves crashing on Horderns Beach).

[citation needed] Bundeena's first authorised white settler, Owen Byrne, was granted land at the site in 1832.

[5] Bundeena Public School began in September 1948, with classes initially held in the RSL hall.
