Northern Territory history began when the First Fleet, commissioned by Thomas Townshend, Baron Sydney, set sail for Botany Bay on May 13, 1787, led by Captain Arthur Phillip. They arrived at Botany Bay on the 18th of January, where upon anchoring, it was discovered there was no fresh water locally available.
It was decided to go further north, to Port Jackson (now also known as Sydney Harbour). There they found a lush, pristine forest in a cove fed by a stream, where it was decided they would settle. A formal flag raising ceremony was held by Arthur Phillip on the shore to proclaim the Colony of New South Wales, in the name of the King of England on the 26th of January, 1788.
Captain Arthur Phillip named the cove where his party landed "Sydney Cove", in honor of Thomas Townshend, Baron Sydney. Later usage of the name dropped 'Cove' and the area became known as Sydney.
Northern Territory overview
Northern Territory is the essence of the Australian Outback. It comprises almost one-sixth of Australia's land mass and can be divided into two areas, the Top End and the Red Centre. It is bordered at the north by the Timor Sea, to the east by Queensland, to the west by Western Australia and to the south by South Australia.
Northern Territory is six times the size of Great Britain, two and a half times the size of Texas. From lush green tropical rainforest among the savannah woodlands at the Top End, spectacular waterfalls, and billabongs, to the dry and arid landscapes of the Red Centre, and the Simpson Desert.
Northern Territory is under the administration of the Australian Government. The administrative centre and main port is at Darwin, the capital of the Territory, on the north west coast.
