Aporiginal Legend of Julian Rocks
- For the Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) people, Julian Rocks is a prominent and sacred Aboriginal site known as “Nguthungulli.”
- According to one legend, the Father of the World, “Nguthungulli,” who made all the land, water, animals, and plants, is currently resting in a cave in Julian Rocks.
- Over the years, the Elders have given instructions that Nguthungulli must be safeguarded against misuse or it will lead to disaster.
- When the water levels were lower 7,000 years ago, the Bundjalung people used to walk to Nguthungulli to conduct ceremonies.
