 The expedition made first landfall at a site Cook named Botany Bay, very near the site at which 18 years later the colony of Sydney would be established.Banks, Solander and Spöring collected further unique specimens from this site.This collection would be greatly augmented later when the "Endeavour" was laid up for several weeks for repairs, after having run aground on a section of the Great Barrier Reef much further to the north.
