Consisting of convicts, marines and officers, the members of the First Fleet literally built Australia from nothing but bushland.

Unfortunately, the First Fleet is also important to the indigenous people of Australia, as it signifies the beginning of their displacement from their own tribal lands, and the resultant loss of aboriginal culture.
The first permanent settlement in Australia was established by Great Britain. In 1788, the First Fleet of eleven ships arrived, with over 700 convicts and a similar number of marines and officers.
