Collins Settlement Historic Site, Sorrento 1803 - First European Settlement in Victoria Collins Settlement Historic Site, Sorrento 1803 - First European settlement in Victoria Lieutenant-Colonel David Collins established the first official European settlement in Victoria in 1803 at Sullivan Bay, 1km east of Sorrento Township. Previously under private ownership, the State Government and public donations acquired a small part of this historic site in 1982. The 1 hectare reserve contains 4 old graves, outdoor information panels and lookouts over Port Phillip Bay. The Leggetts Way entrance gives access to the reserve on the Eastern Sister headland, which is open everyday between sunrise and sunset. (Melway map 157 G10) The background n o t e s At the beginning of the 1800s, the British government decided to establish a settlement at Port Phillip. There were several possible reasons for this including: • to forestall French occupation of the southern coastline of the Australian continent, which was regarded as part of the British Empire • to establish another centre of population in the vast, empty continent, particularly for convicts HMS Calcutta at Sullivan Bay in 1803 • to set up a base for a future fishing Painting by Commodore Dacre-Smyth p a r k industry in Bass Strait, known to be a rich source of seals and whales Victoria’s first town in the making Soon after arriving in Port Phillip in The new settlers early October, Collins chose Sullivan Lieutenant-Colonel David Collins of the Bay for the settlement, although fresh Royal Marines was appointed to be water was very scarce.

  • East India Company
    East India Company This article is about the 16th-19th-century English and British trading company. For other uses, see East India Company (disambiguation). The East India Company (EIC), also known as the Honourable East India Company and informally as John Company[1] was an English and later British joint- stock company,[2] formed to pursue trade with the East Indies, but which ended up trading mainly with the Indian subcontinent and Qing China. Originally chartered as the “Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies”, the company rose to account for half of the world’s trade, particularly trade in basic commodities that included cot- ton, silk, indigo dye, salt, saltpetre, tea and opium. The company also ruled the beginnings of the British Empire in India.[3] The company received a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth on 31 December 1600,[4] making it the old- est among several similarly formed European East India Companies. Wealthy merchants and aristocrats owned the Company’s shares.[5] The government owned no shares and had only indirect control. James Lancaster commanded the first East India Company voy- The company eventually came to rule large areas of India age in 1601 with its own private armies, exercising military power and assuming administrative functions.[6] Company rule in In- dia effectively began in 1757 after the Battle of Plassey sailed from Torbay around the Cape of Good Hope to the and lasted until 1858 when, following the Indian Rebel- Arabian Sea on one of the earliest English overseas Indian lion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to expeditions.

  • Expedition Under Lieutenant Governor Collins in 1803-4
    205 THE EXPEDITION UNDER LIEUTENANT- GOVERNOR COLLINS IN 1803-4. BY JAMES BACKHOUSE WALKER. Eead 14th October, 1889. 1. The Origin of the Expedition and the Voyage to Port Phillip. In former papers which I have had the honor to read before the Royal Society, I have endeavoured to trace the influence of French rivah-y in hastening the English settlement of Australia. I have shown that to the pioneer work of French navigators we owe the first admirable surveys of the southern coasts of Tasmania, and that it was wholly due to the apprehensions that those surveys excited that Governor King sent Lieut. Bowen from Port Jackson to take possession of the Derwent. I have also briefly touched on the explorations of our own English sailors in the neighbourhood of the Derwent and in Bass' Strait, and the influence of their reports in deciding the choice of localities for new colonies, while I have followed the misfortunes of the unlucky settlement at Risdon, and described its collapse after a short and troubled life of little more than half a year. The real history of Tasmania as an English colony begins with the departure from England, in the spring of 1803, of the expedition of Lieutenant-Governor Collins,* the founder of Hobart; and it is with the origin and misadventures of that expedition on its way to the Derwent that I have to deal in the present paper. The project of the English Government to found a colony on the shores of Bass' Strait, and the unsuccess- ful attempt of Governor Collins to plant that settlement *The first lieutenant of the Calcutta published a narrative of the voyage of the expedition to Port Phillip, and of its failure there.
