And This property the closest to many of the secluded beaches in the area. Aboriginal History and the area Aborigines have occupied the Bingi-Congo area since well before the sea reached its present level about 6,000 years ago. Archaeological sites mostly date from the last few thousand years. These include campsites where artefacts were manufactured and used. The area is rich in stone flakes, stone quarry sites and shell middens where the remains of meals of fish and shellfish have accumulated over thousands of years The Bingi-Congo coastal walk follows part of the Dreaming Track utilised by Brinja-Yuin people prior to European development. The word Bingi means stomach in Dhurga - the Aboriginal language spoken south of Nowra to Narooma - and when repeated as in Bingi Bingi Point indicates abundance. Dreaming Tracks traditionally linked every place visited by local Aboriginal people, then extended to connect every place utilised by neighbouring clans so that all Aboriginal people in Australia were connected by these unique highways. Dreaming Tracks are sometimes referred to as song lines, as individuals had to know the songs to successfully navigate the area, particularly if they were visiting another’s country. At times however, they fulfill an entirely different function, particularly in ceremony. It is the belief of Aboriginal people that the Spirit Ancestors of the people created the Dreaming Tracks in the journey of Creation across the land and therefore have a deep spiritual significance for them. Historic journals have recorded European settlers using these tracks as trade routes and encountering groups of Aboriginal people in camps, or in transit gathering food and other materials. The Bingi Dreaming track brings you close to shell middens, stone quarries, knapping sites, camp sites and fresh water sources. There are also beacon sites for sending smoke signals and lookouts traditionally used to spot schools of fish and visitors (wanted or unwanted). While enjoying this unique experience please respect the land and her dwellers for we are all one. Geology Bingi and Grey Rocks Points have formed on granites, Mullimburra Point on metamorphosed shales and sandstones, and the headlands and cliffs between Meringo and Congo are formed from basalt. Between the headlands, beach and dune sands have accumulated since the sea reached its present level. These sands have trapped small perched coastal lagoons (or ICOLLS). The bingie dreamingtrack crosses four of these. At the back of the cliffs between Meringo Lake and Congo the basalt is covered with younger quartz-rich sandstone and gravels, some of which has been cemented to form silcrete. Most of the Aboriginal stone artefacts on the South Coast were made from silcrete and the Congo area was a major source of this stone. Nearest shops, services & the award winning SAGE farmers markets (Tuesdays and saturdays) can be found 15kms away at Moruya.
