Sutherland Shire is a Local Government Area in southern Sydney, Australia. GeographicallyInsert non-formatted text hereInsert non-formatted text here, it is the area to the south of Botany Bay. It is known as "The Shire" or "God's Country" (which has latterly led to facetious comparisons with the Shire in Tolkein's fiction).
The major areas of the Sutherland Shire are the suburbs of Yarrawarrah; Engadine; 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.
