Balmoral, Mosman, Sydney, NSW, Australia
An aboriginal cave and midden, used by local tribes over a period of at least 3,250 years. Rediscovered and excavated 1992.
NB : the site of what is now Balmoral Oval was a swamp during this time, most likely used as a supply of fresh water for those who ate here.
