Background

History

The locality is built on the traditional lands of the Ningy Ningy people, whose presence was attested down to recent times by the ceremonial bora ring south of Bestman Road. Upwards of 2,000 Aboriginal people once gathered there for ritual purposes. Once known as Toorbul Point, the area was the site of an allied amphibious training base during World War II.
