North Head Viewing Platforms | CHROFI and Bangawarra with National Parks and Wildlife Service
For thousands of years, Car-ran-gel the Country now known as North Head has been important ceremonial grounds for local peoples. The sandstone promontory offered a place to gather and celebrate stories like those of Gawura, the whale, and Car-rang, the pelican; a sacred animal to the Gaimariagal people. These stories have been passed down through generations and played an important role in establishing Songlines that connect a vast kinship system.
CHROFI and Bangawarra designed two new viewing platforms for North Head Burragula and Yiningma offering breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour to hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. In addition to improving the safety and viewing experience of the existing lookouts, the project intends to be a catalyst for the future identity of Sydney Harbour National Park, as an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable place that celebrates Country and continues the cultural traditions of local peoples for future generations.
