Site of the First Flag
The Site of the First Flag is located at Observatory Hill in Sydney, Australia. This historic site marks the spot where the first British flag was raised in 1788 to signal the establishment of the colony of New South Wales. The event symbolized the beginning of European settlement in Australia.
Today, the site is commemorated with a flagpole and a plaque, offering visitors a glimpse into the early colonial history of Sydney. Observatory Hill itself provides stunning views of the city and the harbor, making it a popular spot for both tourists and locals. The area is also home to the Sydney Observatory, which is worth a visit for its astronomical exhibits and history.
