History
Bonny Hills has a history deeply intertwined with its natural beauty and local culture. Before European settlement, the area was part of the traditional lands of the Birpai people, who lived harmoniously with the land for thousands of years. The Birpai people relied on the area’s rich resources, including its abundant marine life and fertile coastal plains, for sustenance. Their cultural connection to the land is evident in the sacred sites, middens, and oral histories that still hold significance today.
European settlers arrived in the mid-19th century, drawn by the fertile lands and opportunities for agriculture. Bonny Hills originally served as a farming community, producing crops such as dairy and vegetables to supply the growing region. The town’s picturesque location along the Pacific Ocean soon caught the attention of visitors, transforming it into a popular spot for holidaymakers by the early 20th century.
