Aboriginal Midden remains in North Sydney, Australia

Cammeraygal Midden on the Gadyan Track on Berry Island is one of several sites where Aboriginal peoples left the remains of their hunting and gathering lifestyle. The lookout point by this midden area has wonderful views across Sydney Harbour and it is easy to see why the Cammeraygal people populated this area with its sea food resources. The site is located at the southernmost point on the Gadyan Track on Berry Island. For details on how to reach the site see the annotated map on this page and the separate page for Berry Island and its rock engravings. There is little to see at this site other than traces of shells from the midden.
