There were no priests in Australia when the continent was first colonised. The British were from the Church of England. They did not have "priests" and they did not celebrate "mass" but they did have Holy Communion.

There were two ministers aboard the First Fleet: Reverend Richard Johnson and Rev Samuel Marsden.

What was Father James Dixon's greatest achievement?

He was one of the first three Catholic priests to celebrate Mass in Australia, when it was a penal colony. He was a prisoner himself, having the misfortune of being Irish and Catholic during the Irish Rebellion of 1789. Based on what I've read about him, I'm not sure if he actually did anything that could be considered "rebellious" towards British rule, or was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
