The First Fleet
Last term, we learnt about the First Fleet and their arrival into Sydney Cove. This term we are going to look at what happened once the First Fleet arrived here in Australia. What were the hardships they faced? What did they have to do to start their colony? Who were the people who helped shape the new colony?
Here is a video that contains some images that show the journey of the First Fleet and their arrival into Sydney Cove.
