Botany Bay [2]

An hour after I'd landed on the long haul back from LHR, here I am standing (jet-lagged) on the other side of the planet. It's June 23rd, 2 days after the shortest day of the year and it's a perfect early winter's day in Sydney. This is looking east from Brighton-le-Sands across the bay to the heads, with Botany docks on the left and the Caltex oil refinery at Kurnell on the right.

 

Kurnell, on the southern side of the heads, is of course where Capt James Cook and crew landed 29th April 1770. I'm no history buff but I think I'm right in saying the place wouldn't have looked quite like it does now.
