What were the positive outcomes of Arthur Phillip's exploration?

Answer 1

Captain Arthur Phillip's exploration had short-term positive outcomes, primarily the limited expansion of the colony. He was able to find good land to the west, and this enabled the expansion as far west as Rose Hill, or present-day Parramatta. Such expansion allowed for more settlers to come to Australia and work the land, and thus a better chance for the colony to become self-sufficient.
