Best Answer

Captain Arthur Phillip was supposed to establish the first colony in New South Wales at botany Bay, but upon the arrival of the First Fleet there on 18 January 1788, he quickly determined that it was unsuitable for settlement. Thus, he explored north until he found Port Jackson.

It was on 22 January 1788 that Phillip decided port Jackson would be the best site for the new settlement.

Why did Captain Arthur Phillip want to explore?

Captain Arthur Phillip did not actually choose to be captain of the First Fleet. He had been in semi-retirement for several years, occupied as a farmer, but he was keen to be of service in the navy once again. Phillip offered his services and informed the authorities he was prepared to be of service "anywhere in the Empire" - and they took him up on his offer, sending him as Captain of the First Fleet to New South Wales, literally the other side of the world.
