Kamay Botany Bay National Park

lisa2008

It was a sunny day last Saturday. My son got up very early and said he wanted to go to the beach, as normally Saturday is our family ‘out’ day. Well, it might still be a little bit cold for swimming…..however it may not be a bad idea to have a quiet walk along the beach. Then my husband suggested, why not try the Kamay Botany Bay

Here we go~ with his favorite Wiggles songs and a little lollypop, my son enjoyed a happy & sweet trip to the bay, and so did us. We sang along every familiar song loudly and laughed all the way.

Though spring is coming slowly the temperature was not so high. But it was just perfect for a walk. While walking along the beach my son picked up some beautiful little shells while his dad took photos. It was very lucky for us to see at least 10 dolphins jumping up and down in the sea for quite a while, and in one of the photos that my husband took two Qantas airplanes were taking off at the background – amazing it’s it.

Following is brief introduction of Botany Bay ( website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botany_Bay):

Botany Bay is a bay in Sydney, New South Wales, a few kilometers south of the Sydney central business district. The Cooks River and the Georges River are the two major tributaries that flow into the bay. Two runways of Sydney Airport extend into the bay.
On 29 April 1770, Botany Bay was the site of James Cook's first landing of HMS Endeavour on the continent of Australia, after his extensive navigation of New Zealand. Later the British planned Botany Bay as the site for a penal colony. Out of these plans came the first European habitation of Australia at Sydney Cove.
