Captain Arthur Phillip and the First Fleet of convicts landed at Botany Bay (but did not stay there) in 1788.


Why would Botany Bay not make a good harbor?

After arriving at Botany Bay on 18 January 1788, Captain Arthur Phillips decided it was unsuitable for settlement because of the following: * a lack of fresh water * the timber was unsuitable for building * the soil was of poor quality * there was no safe, deep harbour Phillip then moved the First Fleet north to Port Jackson, where they arrived on 26 January 1788.


Why was Port Jackson chosen and not Botany Bay?

When the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay on 18 January 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip immediately determined that there was insufficient fresh water, an absence of usable timber, poor quality soil and no safe harbour at Botany Bay. Thus the fleet was moved to Port Jackson, arriving on 26 January 1788.

Why was the governor disappointed at the first sight of Botany Bay?

The First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 18 January 1788, and Captain Arthur Phillip could see that the area was not suitable for colonisation, as was previously thought. Lack of a safe harbour, suitable timber, fresh water or good soil resulted in the decision to move further north to Port Jackson, arriving there on 26 January 1788.


Why did Captain Arthur Phillip think Botany Bay wasn't a good place to start the settlement?

The soil was too poor, and the bay too open to be a safe harbour.
