Although the colony was known as Botany Bay, the landmark that bears that name is actually a few miles south of where the settlement was finally established.
Katordznieku kolonija gan tika dēvēta par Botanibeju, taču Botani līcis, kura vārdā tā bija nosaukta, patiesībā atrodas vairākus kilometrus uz dienvidiem no tās vietas, kur galu galā tika nodibināta apmetne.
