The first attempt to establish a penal settlement at Risdon Cove in 1803 failed primarily due to poor planning and inadequate resources. The settlers faced challenges such as harsh environmental conditions, limited food supplies, and tensions with the local Indigenous population. Additionally, the settlement struggled with internal conflicts and lack of support from the British government, leading to its eventual abandonment. These factors combined rendered the colony unsustainable.
The first settlement in Tasmania was established in 1803 at Risdon Cove, and this settlement was then moved to Sullivan's Cove, closer to the mouth of the Derwent River. The next settlement was at Port Dalrymple, at the mouth of the Tamar River in northern Tasmania.

After the first settlement failed, many of the settlers moved to Jamestown in Virginia. Established in 1607, Jamestown became the first permanent English settlement in North America. The settlers sought a more viable location with better resources and opportunities for trade and agriculture to ensure their survival.
Jamestown was the first successful English settlement in North America, founded in 1607 in Virginia, with a focus on agriculture. Roanoke was an earlier settlement (1585) in present-day North Carolina that mysteriously disappeared, known as the "Lost Colony." Jamestown was a permanent settlement, while Roanoke was a failed attempt at establishing a lasting colony.
