Back in Manly Shelley beach. The National Park is on the right, Manlyskyline in the middle. Before invasion, the little bay was covered in beautiful palms. It was decided that they'd make good pig food and some of the leaves came in handy for hats. Recently a few have been replanted. Bandicoots scruffle through the dusk, usually unnoticed by the tourist crowds.

The Eora, Guringai and Daruk Aboriginal nations used to live in this area.
