Sydney Cove bay is an important bay of Sydney. This was the site of the initial settlement of the Europeans in Oceania. It is located to the south of the Botany Bay and to the southern shore of the Port Jackson. In spite of the initial preference given to the Botany Island for settlement and agriculture, soon it was discovered by Captain Arthur Phillip to be a wasteland.
The Sydney Cove Bay was chosen as an alternative to the Botany islands. Fresh water supply to the Sydney Cove Bay is supplied by creeks. It was due to these creeks that the vegetation in this place was pretty dense.

Naturally agriculture was possible. The creeks came to be called the Tank Stream. In course of time, with the advancement of urbanization, these vegetations have been cleared and the creeks too have become non-existent.
The Sydney Cove region and the surrounding region covering 70 miles is now home to a fourth of the total population of Sydney, the capital of Australia. The Circular Quay Ferry Terminal is presently in charge of the Sydney Cove bay ferry terminal. Regular ferry services from this bay are available for the passengers to reach other bays of Sydney.
