Camel Rock Formations in the Ocean on Yuin Country

Camel Rock is an ancient rock formation at Bermagui, NSW. The headland 'Murunna' is a sacred site of the Yuin peoples. For thousands of years corroborees (dance ceremonies where participants interacted with the Dreamtime) were held on top of the headland. The headland and Camel Rock are a formation of ordovician turbidite, a type of sedimentary rock formed at the sea bottom in the Ordovician Era, which lasted from 488 million years ago to 444 million years ago.
