After landing in botany Bay, Captain Philip found that that the soil was sandy and unsuitable for cultivation and there wasn't a suitable fresh water supply. The timber was inadequate for the needs of a new colony starting out, and the harbour was also not sheltered enough.
A party of men were sent out to discover their new surroundings and returned to tell Captain Philip of their discovery of suitable land and suitable fresh water a short distance away in the next inlet.
Philip decided to move his contingent to that place which came to be called Sydney Cove in Port Jackson.
Incidentally, this harbour, one of the finest harbours in the world, was not discovered by Captain Cook on his voyage of discovery in 1770.

Captain Arthur Phillip took the Aborigine Bennelong to England. Bennelong was a senior man of the Eora, a Koori, people of the Port Jackson area, when the First Fleet arrived in Australia, in 1788. He was captured on 25 November 1789, for the purpose of being used as a mediary between the white and Aboriginal cultures. Captain Arthur Phillip, wanted to learn about the language and customs of the indigenous people. Bennelong willingly liaised between the cultures, and adopted European dress and other ways. Bennelong travelled with Phillip to England in 1792, and returned to Australia in 1795. However, he was ostracised from his own people, the Aborigines, when he found it too difficult to integrate into the European culture, and tried to return to his own people. He died on 3 January 1813.

Originally, it was recommended that the First Fleet would settle at Botany Bay, where it arrived on 18 January 1788. However, Captain Arthur Phillip immediately determined that there was insufficient fresh water, an absence of usable timber, poor quality soil and no safe harbour at Botany Bay. He sailed north, seeking a better site for settlement, and decided Port Jackson met the immediate needs of the colonists. Thus the fleet was moved to Port Jackson, and thence on to Sydney Cove, arriving on 26 January 1788.
