I was a bit bored with most of the pictures I took the other day of Botany Bay, but I found a couple in there that weren't so bad. This one is of the beach to the left. There's a little group of shops and restaurants there, a nice atmosphere in summer but bloody cold in winter.
This one is looking across Botany Bay to the spot where Captain Cook first landed in Australia. As there was no fresh water he ended up sailing further up and into (now) Sydney Harbour. He called it Botany Bay I think because his botanist was going bananas finding all the strange new fauna around the place.
And this is just a picture off the internet of the memorial itself:
