The early settlers were not familiar with the native animals they found in Australia. They introduced swans, pidgeons, ducks and geese – similar to what they had been used to eating in Europe. They were able to eat the fish and eels in the sea which were similar to what they had eaten in Europe. When they were on the journey they salted the meat, but they used too much salt which made the meat inedible. On the ship(s) they landed with were horses and other animals. Phillip sent convicts to other places to find food but it took them too long. They sent a ship to Capetown in South Africa for food supplies. The Dutch gave a small amount of flour. The people became so desperate they stole food. Early crops failed because the soil was too sandy and not appropriate for crops.

They used wood, bone and shells to make tools and weapons. When the natural supply of an area began to run low, Aboriginal people moved on to another place.

 * <span style="color: #ffb800; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">No one knows how many people died on the first fleet because no one kept records on all the people on board the first fleet
 * <span style="color: #ffb800; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Out of all the 1,350 on board the first fleet 780 of them were convicts and the other 570 of them were all freemen, children and women.
 * <span style="color: #ffb800; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">During the journey scientists say that there were 48 deaths and 28 births occurred
 * <span style="color: #ffb800; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The convicts on the first fleet died because of rotten food, dirty water, scurvey, the most common diseases were cholera, typhoid and dysentery but convicts also died because of fevers and/or bad living conditions like not having enough fresh air
 * <span style="color: #ffb800; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">All these deaths were caused because of the poor care and poor concern from Captain Arthur Phillip. ||
 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">27.6.12 || <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Today I looked at Annalise's contract when we were sharing all our contracts! || <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I learnt about food supplies that they took on the first fleet voyage:
 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The convicts had four pounds of beef for a week
 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Three quarters of a pound of cheese
 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">They had bottles of rum that lasted them a week
 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">They had bottles of vinegar
 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The convicts had dried green peas that lasted them for a week

 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The rations for the people who arrived on the first fleet were not generous to begin with, but after failed crops and shipwrecked boats, rations were cut even further and people were constantly hungry
 * <span style="color: #00ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Marines and convicts were given the same amount of rations each week and women were given 2/3 of what men received. ||
 * <span style="color: #07c5f8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">29.7.12 || <span style="color: #07c5f8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Today I did my contract || <span style="color: #07c5f8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I learnt about CAPTAIN ARTHUR PHILLIP, THE FIRST FLEET AND PORT JACKSON

 * <span style="color: #07c5f8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">he was sent by Captain Cook to make a colony for the convicts
 * <span style="color: #07c5f8; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">if he wasn't the first to arrive at Port Jackson the French or Spanish would have claimed it theirs ||
 * <span style="color: #0063ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">1.8.12 || <span style="color: #0063ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">We worked on our food and water. || <span style="color: #0063ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I learnt about food rations:
 * <span style="color: #0063ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Women convicts ate 2 over 3 thirds if the mens rations
 * <span style="color: #0063ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">A convicts weekly ration was: 3kg of flour, 11/2 litres iof dried peas
 * <span style="color: #8b00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">8.8.12 || <span style="color: #8b00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I worked on my food and water problem and solutions and found some info. || <span style="color: #8b00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I learnt:
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">12.8.12 || <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I finished my contract for Week 5! || <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I learnt about the effects on aborigines from the British colonisation:
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The diseases spreading from all the people coming off the first fleet,
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The loss of their land because the British took over their watering holes and sacred places, There were no legal agreements to control the movement of the British on to Aboriginals Land
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The behaviours of the two groups towards Land differed.The death of aborigines’ from direct fighting with the British. This happened because the Aboriginals refused to go along with the white mans farming practices. Sometimes the farmers had to abandon their farms and then wipe out many Aboriginals with their guns.The aboriginals suffered from the effects of alcohol which destroyed their society.
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The aborigines didn’t understand the British didn’t share like they did, so the British purposely poisoned the food the aborigines “stole” from them, for example with alcohol and other poisons.
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The British did not understand the aboriginal’s culture, their beliefs or their customs. They forced their beliefs upon them and unfortunately mistreated them, so it became difficult for them become a part of the Australian society.
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">To the Aboriginals, to whom the Land was part of this life and the future of his group, land was not something to be bought and sold - it was not a commodity for exchange.
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The British thought that the Aboriginals were not Christians and were not worthy of the land because were not interested in agriculture.
 * <span style="color: #ff00c3; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">The British believed that land could not only be bought and sold, but taken to be exploited by productive agriculture, and that those who carry out this obligation had some kind of "moral right" to the land. ||
 * <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">15.8.12 || <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">We listened to others' problem and solutions that they were ministers for! || <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I learnt about 2 groups:
