In the Royal Botanic Gardens, just off Macquarie street, is this ornate statue of the Captain of the first fleet and our first Governor. It is popular at lunchtime, nice grass and a sun trap. For a great site about this fountain go to this

An interesting fact is that the captain's bones are missing.
Has anyone noticed that (almost) all the statues of our mariners are facing towards the heads. Which one is not?
Perhaps he was buried at sea? Proving I am not a robot is a nuisance to do - most of the time they are difficult to read.
