The first European colonisers landed in Australia on 18 January 1788, at botany Bay. Only Captain Arthur Phillip and some of his officers disembarked to study the land and determine its suitability for settlement, while the convicts remained on the ships. The Fleet then moved north to Port Jackson, landing on 26 January 1788.
