1788 is the year that England colonised the Australian continent. The First Fleet, consisting of eleven ships, left Portsmouth, England, on 13 May 1787,and arrived in botany Bay on 18 January 1788. Captain Arthur Phillip, Governor of the new colony, determined that there was insufficient fresh water, an absence of usable timber, poor quality soil and no safe harbour at Botany Bay. Thus the fleet was moved to Port Jackson, arriving on 26 January 1788. Australia Day, celebrated annually on January 26, commemorates the landing of the First Fleet at Port Jackson in 1788, and the raising of the Union Jack to claim the land as belonging to England.
