Listen "#8 - Where the First Fleet Really Landed"
Episode Synopsis
January 1788: The First Fleet arrives at Botany Bay… and almost immediately regrets it. In this episode, we follow Governor Arthur Phillip as he sizes up the sandy disappointment of Botany, then sails north in search of something better. What he finds is the deep harbour and freshwater of Port Jackson, modern-day Sydney Cove. Join us as we uncover the real landing of Australia’s first colony and how a snap decision changed the country’s future.
