Sydney's Historic Harbour - Sydney Cove
Sydney’s historic harbour offers us great opportunities for exploring our colonial heritage. Although Cook recorded the existence of the port in 1770, it was Arthur Phillip who explored the harbour and founded a settlement at Sydney Cove. We explore Sydney Cove from settlement to now, and visit the sites that have made Sydney famous.
