Pigs were introduced into Australia with the First Fleet, which arrived on 26 January 1788, under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip. Among the livestock and provisions, 32 pigs are listed as being on the First Fleet. Pigs were introduced purely for food, as the British colonists had no food supplies already established: thus, they relied on livestock until they could get some crops growing.
