Sydney: Manly Wharf

Sydney: Manly Wharf.

“Manly was named by Captain Arthur Phillip for the indigenous people living there, stating that ‘their confidence and manly behaviour made me give the name of Manly Cove to this place’. These men were of the Kay-ye-my clan (of the Guringai people). While scouting for fresh water in the area, Phillip encountered members of the clan, and after a misunderstanding he was speared in the shoulder by one of the clan; to his lasting credit, the progressively-minded Phillip ordered his men not to retaliate.”
