First Fleet

The First Fleet is the name given to the 11 ships which left Great Britain on 13 May 1787 to found a penal colony that became the first European settlement in Australia. The fleet consisted of two Royal Navy vessels, three store ships and six convict transports, carrying more than 1,000 convicts, marines and seamen, and a vast quantity of stores. From England, the Fleet sailed southwest to Rio de Janeiro, then east to Cape Town and via the Great Southern Ocean to Botany Bay, arriving in mid-January 1788, taking 250 to 252 days from departure to final arrival.

This is a song about Wallabadah, NSW, a popular destination for campers. There is a free camping ground on the New England Highway, right next to the First and Second Fleet Memorial Gardens in Wallabadah, 52km south of Tamworth.

Graham Chapman wrote this song, which he was generous enough to share. Thank you, Graham!

Remember the Wallabadah Public School song?

This is the lush, quiet, green, cool oasis just to the South of West Ryde. This is a little piece of greenery that offers asylum to birds, possums and nature-lovers in Sydney's West. May it remain forever.
