Arthur Phillip was appointed as the first governor of the British penal colony in Australia, and while his primary mission was to establish a settlement for convicts, he also had a sense of duty and purpose in leading the expedition. His motivations included the opportunity for exploration and the hope of establishing a successful colony. Although he may not have personally desired to go, he recognized the importance of the mission and its potential benefits for Britain and the convicts involved.
