About Sandon Point Sandon Point comprises 61-hectares of open space between the coastal villages of Thirroul and Bulli in the northern suburbs of Wollongong, on the east coast of NSW, Australia. It is a declared Aboriginal place and significant for a number of reasons including ecological, historical and as public open space.

Members of the local community have worked tirelessly for close to a decade, seeking to protect the area. The Sandon Point
Aboriginal Tent Embassy (SPATE) was established in December 2000, soon followed by the Sandon Point Community Picket in March 2001. SPATE was rebuilt following an arson attack in 2005. The 24/7 Community Picket structure was destroyed by arson in 2006, transforming into a mobile picket. In the face of such dangerous harassment, the local community nevertheless continues to work to protect and preserve the area
