It was necessary for the First Fleet to make stops at three different ports on its way to Australia because the crew needed to replenish its supplies and provisions. The journey to Australia took over eight months, and the ships were unable to carry enough supplies for the entire voyage. Hence the need to stop and take on new supplies at Tenerife, Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town. Also, because the ships coupld not carry livestock for the entire journey from England, it was better to purchase cattle, sheep, chickens and other stock from the final stop, Cape Town.

During the journey from England to Australia, the First Fleet had a supply of water on board. 15 tons of drinking water were taken aboard the ships. This was replenished at each of the stops made by the First Fleet, first at Tenerife, then Rio de Janeiro, then Capetown.Once the First Fleet arrived in Port Jackson, they were supplied with fresh water by the Tank Stream. This stream still runs underneath the streets of Sydney today. It remained the colony's chief source of fresh water for forty years, until it was supplemented by "Busby's Bore", also known as Lachlan Tunnel.
