Introduction
Hello viewers, my name is Daniel and I have created this website for a school project with the theme of 'Migration' in Australian history. The era I have selected will be the era of the 'First fleet', where convicts were taken to Australia to establish a penal colony. The First Fleet is the term given to the eleven ships that left Great Britain on the 13th of May, 1787 and were the first Europeans to settle in Australia. The First Fleet consisted of hundreds of convicts, marines and more. They arrived in Botany Bay during mid January in 1788. Time periods I will cover in this website will be from 1787 to the 1850s.
