Australian Colonial Settlement

British colonisation of Australia began in 1788.

Maryland

• Port Phillip Bay
• Phillip Island in Victoria
• Phillip Island at Norfolk Island
• the Canberra suburb of Phillip

Captain Arthur Phillip did not marry Elizabeth Breach. This was his mother's maiden name.

The first tools used by convicts in Australia were supplied by Great Briatin, and brought with the First Fleet. These tools were unsuitable for use, as they broke easily in the hard Australian soil.

The tools then needed to be replaced, but there were few convicts in the First Fleet who had the skills for tool-making. They would have used parts of the broken tools to make new ones which would serve them until free tradesmen (and perhaps better skilled convicts in subsequent fleets) arrived in the colony.

Royal Colonies were established in North America by England, France, the Netherlands, and Sweden over the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The colonies were controlled by the king of the sovereign nation, who named a governor to each colony and, in English colonies, a council to assist him. The Crown was also responsible for appointing colonial judges, usually for life, though by 1760 they could be removed from office at will. The Crown controlled all http://www.answers.com/topic/unsold public lands, and the royal governor retained the power to http://www.answers.com/topic/disperse those lands. As a representative of the Crown in the colonies, the governor-who also could be removed at will by the king-and the council derived their authority from two key documents, the colonial commission and the set of royal instructions.

Captain Arthur Phillip learned more about the Australian Aborigines by direct contact with them, which he achieved by kidnapping several Aborigines. Bennelong and Arabanoo were two of the Aborigines he kidnapped in an attempt to learn to understand them better, and to learn to communicate with them. He developed a strong relationship with Bennelong, who even travelled back to England with Arthur Phillip, where he was presented before the king.

Whilst this move assisted Arthur Phillip in leaning about the Aborigines, it did little for Bennelong. He found he could not integrate properly into white society, and his own people rejected him for adopting European ways. He found himself caught between two opposing worlds.

Yes. John 'Black' Caesar was Australia's first bushranger. He arrived in Australia with the First Fleet after being transported for stealing in London, after escaping from slavery, but he was originally from Madagascar.

There was limited cutlery on the First Fleet. Naturally, neither knives nor forks could be used because they could have been used as weapons against either other convicts or the marines.

The only cutlery the convicts were permitted were spoons.

The First Fleet stopped at the Cape of Good Hope on 13 October 1787. They were there for around a month and departed on 12 November.

People on the First Fleet came from all walks of life. Most of them were convicts, made up of thieves, pick-pockets, forgers, petty criminals and ordinary people just struggling to survive and driven to steal food.

Murderers were not transported on the First Fleet.

Great Britain

They came from England and landed at Sydney harbour

At 4:00am on the morning of Sunday 13 May 1787, the signal was given from the Sirius for the Fleet to commence its departure, and by 6:00am, all of the ships of the Fleet were on their way.

The first bushrangers in Australia were escaped convicts.

Later on, after transportation ceased, some settlers were attracted by the concept of freedom and a life of crime with no commitments. These were often employees or family members from sheepstations and cattle stations.

Gregory Blaxland's best known achievement was, of course, being one of the first three men to cross the Blue Mountains in 1813, thereby opening up the western plains for settlement.

Apart from that, as the son of the mayor at Fordwich, Kent, England, whose family owned large estates, he was considered a highly respectable person. He farmed profitably once in New South Wales, and undertook various trading ventures. However, there was little of note beyond his pastoral and farming interests.

More information about his life can be found at the related weblink below.

The First Fleet carried convicts and their military guards, the first free settlers came later and were not convicts

William Bligh was born in Plymouth, south-west England, on 9 September 1754.

Scavenge for food and water.

1. no. they didn't have banks.

Captain Arthur Phillip and the First Fleet of convicts landed at Botany Bay (but did not stay there) in 1788.

The first convicts to Australia were entirely from Great Britain but this does not mean they were solely of British descent.

Some of the earliest convicts to Australia had come to Great Britain as slaves, and hd committed a crime for which they had been caught. The crime may have been committed while they were still working for their master, or it was committed after they ran away. Australia's first bushranger, John 'Black' Caesar was one such example. He arrived in Australia with the First Fleet after being transported for stealing in London, after escaping from slavery. 'Black' Caesar had been captured at Madagascar and forced into slavery.
