Why did the First Fleet go to Cape Town?
The First Fleet did not "choose" to come to Australia. The British Government decided to establish a colony in Australia and sent 11 ship loads of people, including convicts, to do it. Conditions in England in the 18th century were tough: the industrial revolution had removed many people's opportunities to earn an honest wage as simpler tasks were replaced by machine labour. As unemployment rose, so did crime, especially the theft of basic necessities such as food and clothing. The British prison system was soon full to overflowing, and a new place had to be found to ship the prison inmates. The American colonies were no longer viable, following the American war of Independence. Following Captain Cook's voyage to the South Pacific in 1770, the previously uncharted continent of New Holland proved to be suitable. Cook had claimed the eastern half of the continent for England, naming it "New South Wales", and determined that a small bay in the south which he named "Botany Bay" would present the ideal conditions for a penal colony. On 18 August 1786 the decision was made to send a colonisation party of convicts, military and civilian personnel to Botany Bay, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip, who was appointed Governor-designate.

The First Fleet to Australia, consisting of eleven ships, originally arrived in Botany Bay on 18 January 1788.

This is why the fleet was moved north to Port Jackson, arriving on 26 January 1788.
