The 1st planned convict settlement was at this bay named for its abundance & variety of life.
"What is Botany Bay?"...he sounds sure & should be to walk to $11,200! The other one for this board...is Dawn's attached to the $2K Anniversary Gift & this is a very razor-close game, because she has $11,800 & everyone's separated by $200; Ben's at the $12K level. She gambles for 10 grand:
