Today, the exact site where the flag was planted is not apparent, as in its place is [[Circular Quay]] and Buildings of Sydney CBD.
Phillip's instructions were to establish the settlement at [[Botany Bay]], a large bay (further south of Sydney Cove) down the coast. Botany Bay had been discovered by Lieutenant [[James Cook]] during his voyage of discovery in 1770, and was recommended by the eminent botanist Sir [[Joseph Banks]], who had accompanied Cook, as a suitable site for a settlement. But Phillip discovered that Botany Bay offered neither a secure [[anchorage]] nor a reliable source of fresh water. Sydney Cove offered both of these, being serviced by a fresh water creek which was soon to be known as [[Tank Stream]].<ref>[http://history.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/waterexhibition/WaterSupplySewerage/TheTankStream.html City of Sydney: The Tank Stream]</ref><ref>[http://www.teachers.ash.org.au/relearn/harbour/history.htm#sydneycove A Day on Sydney Harbour: Sydney Cove]</ref>
{{cquote|It must have been like entering paradise on that summer afternoon when the sea-won convoy passed through the dun and barren headlands into the untouched harbour - the water brilliantly blue, the shores high and wooded without being precipitous, a scattering of islands, sandy beaches, the trees shimmering under the sun.<br />
The site of the settlement was Sydney Cove. It was one of the smaller inlets, chosen because it had fresh water and good anchorage for ships close into the land. The Governor's working party had cleared a camping ground beside the creek, which stole silently along through a very thick wood, the stillness of which had then for the first time since the Creation, been interrupted by the rude sound of the labourer's axe.<ref>{{cite book

Today the Tank Stream is encased in a concrete drain beneath the streets of the central business district <ref>[http://www.boudist.com/archive/2008/05/29/tank_stream_tour.php Tank Stream Tour: photographs by Sydney photographer Daniel Boud]</ref> and all native bushland has been cleared. The head of the cove is occupied by the [[Circular Quay]] ferry terminal. On [[Bennelong Point, New South Wales|Bennelong Point]] at the northern end of the eastern shore of the cove stands the [[Sydney Opera House]]. On the western shore is the historic district known as [[The Rocks, Sydney|The Rocks]].<ref>{{cite book

===Sydney Cove Medallion===
[[File:Sydney Cove medallion 1789 Josiah Wedgwood a128978.jpg|thumb|right|Sydney Cove medallion]]
A sample of the dark grey clay of Sydney Cove was collected by Governor Phillip and given to Sir [[Joseph Banks]], who gave it to the great pottery maker [[Josiah Wedgwood]] to test for suitability for making pottery. Wedgwood found it excellent, and made a commemorative medal that became known as the Sydney Cove Medallion.<ref>[http://www.nma.gov.au/exhibitions/landmarks/colonial_foundations/#Sydney Sydney Cove Medallion, National Museum of Australia]</ref>
