Description
Sydney Cove, on which Circular Quay is located, was the site of the initial landing of the First Fleet in Port Jackson on 26 January 1788.
Original description:
.... like entering paradise on that summer afternoon when the sea-won convoy passed through the dun and barren headlands into the untouched harbour - the water brilliantly blue, the shores high and wooded without being precipitous, a scattering of islands, sandy beaches, the trees shimmering under the sun.
Today you can see its mostly tall buildings, Tank creek is gone and so are all the trees and wildlife and Aboriginal people who lived there.

I like the point of view and perspective here, as one is departing from the city and heading to open waters. l/f fb
