Mareela Reef

About

SuburbDangar IslandTypeOtherDetailsMareela Reef extends to the southward from the eastern end of Bradleys Beach on Dangar Island. Endacott gives Mareela as an Aboriginal Word meaning mullet. It was on the adjacent Bradleys Beach that Governor Phillip's exploration party in 1788 managed to net a good haul of mullet, so the name seems an appropriate one although its age is not known.
