Master John Marshall, Surgeon Denis Considen THE FIRST FLEET - Six transport ships, two naval escorts, and three supply ships – began the European colonisation of the Australian continent. New South Wales was proclaimed upon their arrival at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788. The transports carried mainly convicts with some members of the Marine detachment sent as guards. In total, the First Fleet carried 569 male convicts, 191 female eonvicts, and a detachment of Marines with their wives and children, plus Government officials, numbering more than 1,300 people in the Fleet.

Susannah had arrived in the colony only about 8 months prior to her marriage on board the Glatton. She had also been sentenced to 7 years. It is believed that they had 4 daughters, Susannah, Martha (who married another convict named William Bridle, arr 1817 on “Larkin”) and Elizabeth - the fourth daughter may not have been born as so little is known about her if she existed at all. Edward and Susannah Miles were farmers in the western area of Sydney and both are buried in St Matthews Church yard at Windsor. Both died in 1838.

Rich people could provide their children with food, nice clothes, a warm house and an education. While some people were rich, others were poor. Poor people had no money and no food. They had to work as servants for the rich. Poor children did not attend school. When machines were invented, many people lost their jobs because workers were no longer needed. Health conditions during the 1700s were very poor. There was no clean water due to the pollution from factories. Manure from horses attracted flies, which spread diseases. A lack of medical care meant many people died from these diseases. Life in Britain During the 1700s • The overcrowded city streets were not a nice place to be during the 1700s. High levels of poverty resulted in a lot of crime. • Harsh punishments were put in place to try to stop the crime. People were convicted for crimes as small as stealing bread. Soon, the prisons became overcrowded with convicts. • One of the most common punishments was transportation to another country. Until 1782, Britain sent their convicts to America. After the War of Independence in 1783, America refused to take Britain’s convicts.

Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta
AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 5,1987 The Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta, New South Wales, 1790-1820s EDWARD HIGGINBOTHAM This paper describes the excavation of a convict hut, erected in 1790 in Parramatta, together with an adjoining contemporary out-building or enclosure. It discusses the evidence for repair, and secondary occupation by free persons, one of whom is tentatively identified. The site produced the first recognised examples of locally manufactured earthenware. The historical and archaeological evidence for pottery manufacture in New South Wales between 1790 and 1830 is contained in an appendix. INTRODUCTION Before any archaeological excavation could take place, it was necessary to research the development of the township In September 1788 the wheat crop failed at Sydney Cove from historical documentation, then to establish whether any and also at Norfolk Island, partly because the seed had not items merited further investigation, and finally to ascertain been properly stored during the voyage of the First Fleet.

A Colony of Convicts
A Colony of Convicts The following information has been taken from https://www.foundingdocs.gov.au/ Documenting a Democracy ‘Governor Phillip’s Instructions 25 April 1787’ The British explorer Captain James Cook landed in Australia in 1770 and claimed it as a British territory. Six years after James Cook landed at Botany Bay and gave the territory its English name of 'New South Wales', the American colonies declared their independence and war with Britain began. Access to America for the transportation of convicts ceased and overcrowding in British gaols soon raised official concerns. In 1779, Joseph Banks, the botanist who had travelled with Cook to New South Wales, suggested Australia as an alternative place for transportation. The advantages of trade with Asia and the Pacific were also raised, alongside the opportunity New South Wales offered as a new home for the American Loyalists who had supported Britain in the War of Independence. Eventually the Government settled on Botany Bay as the site for a colony. Secretary of State, Lord Sydney, chose Captain Arthur Phillip of the Royal Navy to lead the fleet and be the first governor. The process of colonisation began in 1788. A fleet of 11 ships, containing 736 convicts, some British troops and a governor set up the first colony of New South Wales in Sydney Cove. Prior to his departure for New South Wales, Phillip received his Instructions from King George III, with the advice of his ‘Privy Council'. The first Instructions included Phillip's Commission as Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of New South Wales.

Australia Day
Australia Day Australia Day is the national day of Australia and takes place on the 26th of January every year across the country of Australia. This date is the anniversary of Captain Arthur Phillip raising the British flag in Sydney Cove to mark the new colony of Britain. This happened many years ago in 1788! For many people in Australia, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, this day is referred to as ‘Invasion Day’ as they remember the anniversary of the invasion of their lands. Australians celebrate Australia Day in different ways. Some people enjoy going to a special concert or watching a fireworks show. Other Australians spend the day at the beach or having a picnic with friends or family. It is also the time of the year when important national awards are given to people who show great Australian values. There are four of these awards given every year. They are for Australian of the Year, Young Australian of the Year, Senior Australian of the Year and Australia’s Local Heroes. Page 1 of 2 Australia Day Questions 1. What date is Australia Day? 2.

Australia 1788: How 'Convict Was
AUSTRALIA 1788: HOW ‘CONVICT’ WAS IT AND HOW ‘FREE’? Investigating the beginnings of the Rule of Law in Australia A classroom unit for Year 9 Australian History and Year 8 Civics and Citizenship © Institute of Public Affairs Published by the IPAIPA Foundations Foundations of Western of Western Civilisation CivilisationProgram Program www.ipa.org.au/heritage-of-our-freedoms1 TEACHER GUIDE Australia 1788: How ‘convict was it’ — and how ‘free’? has been developed for the Australian Curriculum for History at Year 9 Civics and Citizenship at Year 8 Making a Nation: Laws and citizens: - Key people, events and - How laws are made in Australia through ideas in the development of parliaments (statutory law) and through the Australian self-government and courts (common law) democracy and - The types of law in Australia, including criminal law and civil law, and the place of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander customary law It is a way of exploring the way the British system of law, part of Australia’s British and Western Civilisation heritage, was established in Australia. In doing so, decisions had to be made about the place and role of existing Indigenous laws within the new system, and the place of all people — Indigenous, convict, official and settler — within the new system. The resource involves five distinct investigations that together help students understand how the Rule of Law was applied to Australia, and its impacts. The investigations are: Investigation 1 How did Britain claim ownership of Australia? Investigation 2 What is a gaol? A decision-maker exercise Investigation 3 What does the First Fleet tell us about Australia as a gaol or a free society? Investigation 4 What does a court case tell us about Australia as a gaol or a free society? Investigation 5 Were the Indigenous people and their law recognised as part of the new society? IPA Foundations of Western Civilisation Program 2 IN THE CLASSROOM The resource can be used in full, or in parts.
