The First Fleet needed to stop at several ports enrouteto Australia in order to stock up on supplies which could not otherwise last the 8-9 month journey.
The First Fleet travelled from Portsmouth, England to Santa Cruz, Tenerife in the Canary islands. After that, it journeyed to Rio de Janeiro and on to Cape Town. It sailed along the southern part of the Australian continent, around Van Diemen's Land to Botany Bay, where it was supposed to settle. Botany Bay proved unsuitable for settlement, so the Fleet moved to Port Jackson and Sydney Cove.
