The First Fleet landed in Botany Bay on 18 January 1788. However, as Botany Bay was unsuitable for establlshing a new colony for a variety of reasons, the fleet moved to Port Jackson, where they settled, on 26 January 1788. N.B. The First Fleet, which transported convicts to Australia, should not be confused with other notable voyages there, such as the first known landing, by Willem Janszoon in 1606, or Lieutenant James Cook's expedition, which left Great Britain in 1768 and landed in Botany Bay in 1770.

The answer is obviously supposed to be 1788, but this would be incorrect.The First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 18 January 1788(not 26 January) but did not stay there. Captain Arthur Phillip noted that Botany Bay was unsuitable for settlement, so he moved the First Fleet further north to Port Jackson (where Sydney now stands), arriving there on 26 January 1788.
