History
Banksmeadow is named in honour of botanist Sir Joseph Banks, who travelled to Australia with Captain James Cook in 1770. Botany Bay is where they first landed ashore on 29th April 1770, when navigating around Australia on the Endeavour.
Commercial Area
Banksmeadow is home to commercial and industrial developments associated with nearby Port Botany.
Landmarks
Foreshore Beach (also known as Botany Beach) runs along the shore of Botany Bay. Part of the sandy public beach has been lost in recent years due to the expansion of port facilities by The Sydney Ports Corporation. A rock seawall along a large part of the beach has greatly restricted its use asa public beach.
