Where to begin




Normally you would expect to begin at the beginning but in the case of a river, it can often be more logical to start where it ends, and enters the ocean. In the case of the Georges River, Botany Bay is at its mouth and to some degree this is the beginning because it was here in 1770 that Capt James Cook landed (at Kurnell) and discovered the Georges.

These photos were taken on a bright sunny morning. The first shows the river mouth with Botany Bay lin the distance. The other two photos are taken looking up river. All photos show the expanse of sand on the western side of the Bay which runs along Lady Robinson beach towards Ramsgate, Brighton and Mascot International Airport.
