Sutherland Shire

(Redirected from Gods country)

Sutherland Shire is a Local Government Area in southern Sydney, Australia. Geographically, it is the area to the south of Botany Bay. It is known to most as "Gods Country" or simply "The Shire".

The major commercial areas of the Sutherland Shire are the suburbs of Sutherland; Illawong; Alfords Point; Menai; Miranda, home to a large Westfield shopping centre; Caringbah; and Cronulla, a beach resort and Sydney's southernmost ocean beach. The Sutherland Shire also includes the village of Kurnell, close to the first landing site of James Cook and also home to Sydney's oil refinery. There are three national parks partially within the Sutherland Shire: Botany Bay National Park, Heathcote National Park and the Royal National Park.
