The First Fleet of convicts from Great Britain arrived in Australia in January 1788. At first, on 18 January, it came to e site recommended by Sir Joseph Banks and James Cook - botany Bay - which was found to be unsuitable for settlement. So the First Fleet moved north to Port Jackson, arriving on 26 January 1788.
