Where and when was the first place in Australia that the feral cat was introduced?
There is evidence to suggest that domestic cats arrived in Australia long before the First Fleet. It would appear that the Macassan traders who sought trepang (sea slugs) off Australia's northern coast some 500 years before the First Fleet had ships' cats, some of which stayed behind in Australia when the ships moved on. Naturally, these cats turned feral once they had to fend for themselves, and with no natural predators in Australia, their population proliferated rather well.
