Botany Bay

We took the bus to Little Bay and walked South, with the waves crashing on our left, as we followed the coastal path down to Cape Banks. Here we watched body boarders surfing a nasty looking rock reef and had lunch above a wreck which was being pounded beneath us. We turned West as we entered Botany Bay, passing Henry Head and then up to LaPerouse. We had a swim at Congwong Bay beach and thought of Captain Cook and The Endeavour anchoring here when Australia was only  occupied by aboriginal tribes. On the way back, we passed the SCG where England were handing the 5th test and the ashes back to a rampant Aussie cricket test team. We drove past in an attitude of silent respect.
