This chart by Hunter shows the coastline from Botany Bay to Broken Bay, including Port Jackson. The chart is very detailed and shows the depths to be found in each of the bays.

John Hunter at this time had been suspected of being at fault for the wrecking of HMS Sirius on the reef at Norfolk Island in 1790 (The Sirius had been the flagship to the First Fleet). This was a serious charge and even though he would eventually be acquitted on the charges he certainly used his great skills as a map maker to chart much of the region. He would eventually become the second Governor of Australia in 1794.
