From which country was the explorer who landed on the north shore of Botany Bay on 26 January 1788, the same day that Arthur Phillip and the first fleet arrived in Port Jackson (Sydney Harbour) after first arriving in Botany Bay 8 days earlier and not liking it and moving on? (extra time because its such a long question and you had so much to read and it takes so much longer and is probably more confusing when there is too much to read. I apologise for making you read so much). I bet your English teacher would mark me down for rambling on so much.
