Botany Bay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The land around the headlands of the bay is protected as Botany Bay National Park. Botany Bay is a bay in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, a few kilometres south of the central business district. The SS Botany Bay was the name of a fictional sleeper ship seen in the Star Trek episode "Space Seed." This ship was referenced, though unseen, in the film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan when Pavel Chekov found a fragment of it and famously read "Botany Bay...oh, no!" en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Botany_Bay   (365 words)

The Kurnell Peninsula - Botany Bay National Park Botany Bay National Park is located on the eastern end of the Kurnell Peninsula and covers an area of 324 hectares. The Park is managed by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and provides protection to a rich diversity of environments and ecosystems including cliffs and rock platforms, dunes, freshwater streams and swamps, and wet forest which all support a range of fauna species, many of them endangered. National Parks and Wildlife Service has identified that the Park has the potential to act in a 'keeping place' role as a secure area which can be used for the storage or return of cultural material. www.ssec.org.au /our_environment/our_bioregion/kurnell/environment/botany_bay_np.htm   (891 words)

Print Article: Plan to turn back Botany Bay's tide of neglect In the second year, a route will be selected for a walking trail that will hug the waterway, beginning at the Botany Bay National Park on the Kurnell Peninsula and finishing at La Perouse. The Botany Bay and Catchment Alliance, a coalition of community groups lobbying for the bay's protection, said the strategy was likely to be limited because of the "paucity of funds" provided by the Government. In the Botany Bay assessment, all areas below the high water mark, including all wetland areas, will be studied, with a focus on the extent of "ecological asset loss" over the past 50 years. www.smh.com.au /cgi-bin/common/popupPrintArticle.pl?path=/articles/2002/12/27/1040511177191.html   (589 words)

Botany Bay National Park (Helicopter Base Relocation) Bill - 31/03/2004 - 2R The excision of 1.38 hectares of land from Botany Bay National Park at Cape Banks which will be facilitated by the introduction of this bill will provide the best possible opportunity to safely relocate this essential and valuable facility of the rescue helicopter service. It is part of the Botany Bay National Park, but I think I am correct in saying that the area does not have high conservation value. As the Minister responsible for the National Parks and Wildlife Service is in the Chamber, I ask him to indicate that approval for the relocation will be granted far more quickly than approval for a Telecom phone tower in the national park at Yabbra; we are still awaiting that approval. www.parliament.nsw.gov.au /prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LA20040331004   (3978 words)

BOTANY BAY: Matthew Flinders & the Coastal Landforms of SE Australia Botany Bay is a moderately large coastal indentation not far south of Sydney Harbour. It has grown beyond Botany Bay to Port Hacking in the south, to Broken Bay in the north, to the coast in the east, and to the foot of the Blue Mountains in the west. The inlets of Botany Bay and Port Hacking reflect altered conditions during the glacial period, when rivers cut valleys to a lower sea level, and subsequent sea level rise drowned the excavated lowlands. www.vnc.qld.edu.au /enviro/flinders/f-p-nmb.htm   (2137 words)

National Parks and Wildlife (Adjustment of Areas) Bill - 22/03/2005 - 2R In recent years it seems that a number of changes have been made to Botany Bay National Park, perhaps because it is fairly close to the centre of the city and a number of competing activities occur within the area. Under the National Parks and Wildlife Act, land reserved as national parks may not be revoked except by an Act of Parliament. Often it is necessary to construct roads, and sometimes the only place to construct them is through a national park. www.parliament.nsw.gov.au /prod/parlment/hansart.nsf/V3Key/LA20050322041   (2018 words)

Sydney - Botany Bay National Park Footprint Guides The landing site is near what is now Kurnell on the southern shores of Botany Bay, which along with La Perouse on the northern shore, comes under the auspices of the 458-ha Botany Bay National Park. Botany Bay, 15-30 km south of Sydney, holds a very special place in (European) Australian history as the site of Captain Cook’s first landing in April 1770. The southern sector of the park is larger and has the best walks including the short, 1-km Monument Track, passing several historical markers surrounding Cook’s landing and the more demanding Coast Walk to Bailey lighthouse. www.footprintguides.com /Sydney/Botany-Bay-National-Park.php   (232 words)

Record number of whales spotted off Botany Bay. 07/07/2004. ABC News Online The New South Wales Parks and Wildlife Service says a record number of whales have been spotted this year off Cape Solander in the Botany Bay National Park. Christine Hopkins, the Botany Bay Area Manager says about 1000 whales have passed the cape to migrate north this winter, the highest number since the service began counting whales in the area eight years ago. Ms Hopkins says the increasing numbers passing Cape Solander could mean the mammals are recovering since the abolition of whaling. www.abc.net.au /news/newsitems/200407/s1148188.htm   (205 words)

Kurnell - A Pictorial History Gary Dunnett, the NPWS Manager for the Botany Bay Area, says that their vision for Botany Bay National Park is that "Kurnell should be a symbolic meeting place of cultures and a place of natural significance, with a sense of ownership, for all Australians because: "The central theme of the Botany Bay National Park is that of 'the meeting place of two cultures'. Though the character of the landscape at the entrance to Botany Bay does now differ, it would not be unrecognisable to the 18th century British and French maritime explorers. www.ssec.org.au /our_environment/our_bioregion/kurnell/history/squatters/npws.htm   (450 words)

too-rall, li-oo-rall, li-ad-di-ty.... - Mark Cohen We are going to Botany Bay national park on Saturday for our Christmas Day outing. Botany Bay is where Captain Cook first landed, climbed off his boat and said “Now here’s a good island to drop all our convicts on”. They had successively spectacular failures at trying to grow crops, were the repeat victims of marauding Aboriginal opportunists who knew a soft target when they saw one, and generally blundered their way through their supplies. home.swiftdsl.com.au /~markcohen/index.php?itemid=59&catid=2   (240 words)

Air rescue gets new lease for life We support the excise of land from the Botany Bay National Park as a long-term base for the southern regional lifesaver rescue helicopter. I do not oppose the bill, but I wonder whether an attempt was made to determine whether part of the land leased by the New South Wales Golf Club, which is adjacent to the proposed helicopter site, could have been used to avoid using any land at all in the national park. Perhaps the land leased by the golf club is limited and if a small section were taken the number of holes required to make a golf course viable would have been affected. www.christiandemocratic.org.au /fed/mr/040505cf.asp   (360 words)
