So I was thinking with a POD of 1770 where Britain sends over real colonists instead of convicts, how different can we make Australia?
Here are the first three:
- 1779: Sir Joseph Banks' plan to colonize Australia with American Loyalists and British Colonist at Botany Bay goes unchanged and it's well accepted by the British Government
-1788: The British First Fleet arrives at Botany Bay led by Governer Arthur Phillip
-1803: Matthew Flinders completes the first circumnavigation of the continent (still known as "New Holland")
