Once the First Fleet reached Australia, its first stopping point was Botany Bay. Due to the unsuitability of Botany Bay for a new settlement, the fleet then moved north to Port Jackson.
The First Fleet made three stops on the voyage TO Australia.
- From Portsmouth, Britain to Tenerife in the Canary Islands , off the north western coast of Africa.
- From the Canary Islands, the Fleet passed the Cape Verde Islands, off the west coast of Africa, but strong winds prevented the Fleet from stopping there. From the Cape Verde islands the Fleet moved on to Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil, where it reprovisioned.
- The next stop was the Cape Town, on the Cape of Good Hope (South Africa), from where it continued on to New South Wales.
