Best Answer

The second landfall of the First Fleet was on 26 January 1788. Now, 26 January is celebrated as Australia Day, to remember the day the men and women of the First Fleet came ashore.

The first landfall was when the First Fleet arrived at botany Bay on 18 January 1788. At this time, Captain Arthur Phillips decided it was unsuitable for settlement because of the following:

  • a lack of fresh water
  • the timber was unsuitable for building
  • the soil was of poor quality
  • there was no safe, deep harbour

Phillip then moved the First Fleet north to Port Jackson, where they arrived on 26 January 1788.
