Did you know about Arthur Phillip?

He also took Bennelong and his friend Yemmerrawanyea another young Indigenous Australian who unlike Bennelong would succumb to English weather and disease and not live to make the journey home. Forgotten for many years the grave was discovered in 1897 and the Premier of New South Wales Sir Henry Parkes who also started federation in Australia had it restored. In 1791 he was advised that the government would send out two convoys of convicts annually plus adequate supplies.

Phillip was a far-sighted governor who soon saw that New South Wales would need a civil administration and a system for emancipating the convicts. Also his friendly attitude towards the aborigines was sorely tested when they killed his gamekeeper and he was not able to assert a clear policy about them. Admiral Arthur Phillip RN (11 October 1738 – 31 August 1814) was the first Governor of New South Wales and founder of the settlement which became Sydney.
