The harbour at botany Bay was not sheltered enough from the strong winds, nor was it thought to be deep enough for large ships.
The soil was too poor, and the bay too open to be a safe harbour.

Lieutenant James Cook (not yet a captain) chose Botany Bay as the most promising site for a new settlement.it is interesting to note that, when the First Fleet arrived eighteen years later, Captain Arthur Phillip did not find Botany Bay to be at all as Cook had described. He was forced to reconnoitre north in order to find a more suitable prospect.
I do not think he started it, because from what I can see, he attended it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Hospital_School

Not really. Australia Day commemorates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove in New South Wales on 26 January 1788. It is the date that Captain Arthur Phillip raised the British flag and thereby claimed the entire east coast of Australia for Great Britain. Some may think Australia Day should actually be celebrated on 18 January, as this is when the First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay. However, the fleet did not stay there and the convicts did not disembark.
