botany Bay's first name was "Stingray Harbour." The name was later changed to Botany Bay by Captain James Cook in 1770, due to the abundance of plant life he observed in the area. The bay is located in New South Wales, Australia, and is historically significant as the site of the first British colony in Australia.
