Botany Bay

The sandstone in this area is amazing. Most of Sydney's base is sandstone and clay. The colours that come out are stunning. This area is also where James Cook set up for a British Colony in 1770 in Botany Bay (Same area as this photo). Only a short bus ride or drive from the city center of Sydney. #nature

Popular places to visit

I recommend photographing this place during the summer. Also the sun sets are lengthy and in a good area.

The main attraction is the Caltex Jetty that unloads terrible oily stuff from the cargo ships. So you may get a large ship docked at the end of it.

NOTE: Its a good 2hr drive from Sydney
