About this audiobook
An Account of the English Colony in New South Wales is a two-volume history of the British settlement in Australia written by Colonel David Collins, administrator of Britain's first colonies in Australia. The work covers period from the first settlement in January 1788, to August 1801 with remarks on the dispositions, customs, and manners of the native inhabitants of Australia to which are added some particulars of New Zealand. In January 1788, the First Fleet led by Captain Arthur Phillip founded the first British settlement in Australian history as a penal colony. Colonel Collins tells the story of the fleet which comprised the 11 ships that departed from Portsmouth, England on 13 May 1787 to New South Wales, the penal colony that became the first European settlement in Australia. From England, the Fleet sailed south-west to Rio de Janeiro, then east to Cape Town and via the Great Southern Ocean to Botany Bay (Australia), arriving over the period of 18-20 January 1788.
