Sandon Point Aboriginal Tent Embassy

The Sandon Point Aboriginal Tent Embassy (SPATE) is a campsite operated by the Kuradji Mob, situated near Tramway Creek — also known as Buginne Creek — on the New South Wales coast at McCauley's Beach, Wollongong.

The embassy was established in December 2000 by Aboriginal community members seeking to protect significant heritage sites and raise awareness of their cultural importance.

The broader Sandon Point area has long held deep significance for Aboriginal peoples as a ceremonial site, burial ground, and meeting place.

The southern point was traditionally a chief's meeting place, while the wider area served as a gathering space for trade and storytelling among groups.

In February 2001, Yuin Elder Uncle Guboo Ted Thomas renamed the embassy site "Kuradji" during a Sacred Fire Ceremony. The Tramway Creek corridor, approximately 3. 2 hectares, is zoned for public recreation under the Wollongong Local Environmental Plan 2009.
