Stillwater Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 The land adjacent to Botany Bay was settled for many thousands of years by the Tharawal and Eora peoples and their associated clans. On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was the site of James Cook's first landing of HMS Endeavour on the land mass of Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
