Wattamolla is a cove, lagoon and beach on the New South Wales coast south of Sydney, within the Royal National Park.
Wattamolla is the local Aboriginal name of the area, meaning "place near running water". That name was recorded as Watta-Mowlee by Matthew Flinders, but is today spelt Wattamolla.
Flinders, George Bass and a boy, William Martin were exploring in a 2.5 metre boat...
