Booderee is an Aboriginal word from the Dhurga language meaning 'bay of plenty' or 'plenty of fish'. The White-bellied Sea Eagle is one of the many birds you can see around the park. This large white and grey eagle is the guardian of the Aboriginal people of Wreck Bay, and is represented in the park logo. The National Park and Botanic Gardens were handed back to the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community in 1995. The Community and the Australian Government, through the Director of National Parks, now jointly manage the Park and the Botanic Gardens. Everyone benefits from proper management of the Park, especially the visitors. Park use fees contribute to the cost of protecting the values of the Park and at the same time also help with maintaining visitor services and facilities. In recognition of its heritage value, the Park and Botanic Gardens are on the Register of the National Estate. Booderee National Park and Botanic Gardens offer a broad range of recreational opportunities within a magnificent natural setting. The area is approximately three hours drive from Sydney or Canberra.
