Why was poor nutrition a problem in the early days of European settlement in Australia?

Poor nutrition was a problem in early colonial settlement in Australia because crops could not be grown.
British farming methods, seeds and implements were unsuitable for use in the different climate and soil. Much of the seed had gone rotten or been eaten by rats on the eight-month boat journey, and the tools were unable to withstand the rough, rocky, hard soil of the colony, causing them to quickly break.
Food was therefore rationed severely, with the colony facing near-starvation in its first two years.
