In 1770, James Cook sailed along and

mapped the east coast of Australia, which

he called New South Wales and claimed

for the United Union.

Cook's discoveries prepared the way for

the creation of a new penal colony. The

British Crown Colony of New South

Wales was formed on 26 January 1788,

when Captain Arthur Phillip led the First

Fleet to Port Jackson.

This date became Australia Day, the
