STORY
As North Head is sacred to Garanga and Koraji, South Head is sacred to the Gadi.
It is this headland we lived in and around. Our Summer camps dotted the sheltered bays and rock overhangs of the harbour, but it was in and around Rushcutters Bay, Camp Cove and today's Watsons Bay that our ancestors were alive to their earnest and humble living. The late great matriarch Cora Gooseberry was said to run the Watsons Bay camp with a loud voice and stern glare over her clay pipe.
