Sydney Botany Bay is located in New South Wales and as the name suggests, this is a Bay of Sydney. This was the place where Lieutenant James Cook had landed. He along with his two botanist friends, Joseph banks and Daniel Solander had arrived at the island in the month of April of 1770. The Sydney Botany is now the site of Kingsford Airport. This land was a swampy wasteland, which was found unsuitable for agriculture.
The Botany Bay National Park
The Botany Bay National Park in the interiors of the Botany Bay is one of the many unique geographical sites. Lying amidst the sandstone cliff, the marine life that it encloses makes it an in-demand sight seeing spot. This was the place, which was studied by the botanists who traveled along with James Cook. This park is valuable for its historical importance associated with the early explorers as well as the scenic beauty.
