Why were settlements established in Port Dalrymple and Hobart?

Hobart began as a penal colony at Risdon Cove on the Derwent River in 1803 to offset British concerns over the presence of French explorers. A year later it was moved to its current location at Sullivan's Cove. The name Hobart Town was adopted by the settlement in June 1804. Port Dalrymple was the original name for Launceston, and was established in 1805 as the landing place of Bass and Flinders during their circumnavigation of Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). It was first settled in 1804 when Lieutenant Colonel William Paterson and his party set up camp on the site of the current George Town, formally taking possession of Port Dalrymple. Within a few weeks, the settlement was moved across the river to York Town, and the following year the group settled in Launceston.
