Why did Arthur Phillip decide to go to Port Jackson?

After landing in Botany Bay, Captain Philip found that that the soil was sandy and unsuitable for cultivation and there wasn't a suitable fresh water supply. The timber was inadequate for the needs of a new colony starting out, and the harbour was also not sheltered enough. A party of men were sent out to discover their new surroundings and returned to tell Captain Philip of their discovery of suitable land and suitable fresh water a short distance away in the next inlet. Philip decided to move his contingent to that place which came to be called Sydney Cove in Port Jackson. Incidentally, this harbour, one of the finest harbours in the world, was not discovered by Captain Cook on his voyage of discovery in 1770.
