Explanation

Sydney is historically associated with Botany Bay because it was the original landing site of the First Fleet in 1788, and the area around Botany Bay became part of greater Sydney. Botany Bay was named by Captain Cook due to the unique plant species found there. While Sydney proper grew from Sydney Cove, Botany Bay remains an important historical landmark connected to Sydney's founding.
