The First Fleet, which arrived in Australia in 1788, carried provisions intended to last for about two years for the 1,500 people onboard. The food supplies included flour, biscuits, rice, salt pork, and preserved foods, along with some livestock. However, the stores were not sufficient, leading to shortages and reliance on local resources. Ultimately, the fleet faced significant challenges in sustaining itself during the early years of settlement.
