Kangaroo
• The Bunurong moved seasonally, they watched for signs that told them it was
time to move.
• During the warm summer months, the Yalloc Bulluk would make bark canoes
and visit French Island and Phillip Island to catch seal and mutton birds. Other
days would be spent foraging the Western Port Bay’s many tidal flats or the
rocky platforms of the Bass Coast for their favourite shellfish. A part of
everyday was the 1-2 hours spent harvesting indigenous vegetables and fruits
such as orchid bulbs or wild currents.
• As summer came to an end the Yalloc Bulluk would begin making cloaks and
rugs from possum and kangaroo skins, and collecting the flower stems of the

• Perceptions: Even though settlers feared the Australian land, they saw it
for the opportunity that it provided them with to create a life, as no one
owned the land (Terra Nullius). They saw Sealers Cove as a resource
through which to generate profit.
• Interactions: Sealers sold thousands seal skins and tons of seal oil for
over 40 years. Timber millers began to arrive in 1854 to acquire timber
for agricultural practices in the surrounding areas.

as Foster) upon it’s discovery there. Miners excavated the earth where
they would pan and sluice for gold.
• Perceptions: During the early 1900’s, Phillip Island was seen as a blank
canvas, to build a national identity, it needed better access for people.
• Interactions: The San Remo suspension bridge was opened in 1940 and
allowed large numbers of tourists to visit beaches such as Woolamai
and Smiths to engage in surfing and its culture. Roads, car parks and
visitor facilities were created for the influx of visitors.
• Impacts: Whilst the impacts of land clearing for roads etc occured, surfing
was seen as a national culture and part of the identity of Australia, leading to
a shared perception of Phillip Island and its beaches as a playground.
