This work, first published in 1789, is an edited compilation of
official papers, journals and illustrations relevant to the voyage
of the First Fleet to Australia and the founding of Port Jackson on
Sydney Cove, and of the penal colony of Norfolk Island. Arthur
Phillip (1738-1814), a sailor of wide experience in both the Royal
Navy and the Portuguese fleet, accepted the post of commander of
the fleet and governor of the new colony in 1786, and the eleven
ships arrived in Botany Bay in January 1788. This account begins
with a note on Phillip's career, and discusses earlier British
colonisation, before describing the preparations for, and progress
of, the voyage. The fascinating documentation continues with
materials on the founding of the colony, problems with the convict
workmen, encounters with native Australians, and with the local
wildlife, all illustrations of the birth of one of the world's
great cities.
