In October 1803 David Collins landed at Sullivan Cove, Port Phillip, with 300 convicts intending to relieve pressure on the burgeoning population of felons in Sydney and also forestall the French who were believed to be looking to create a settlement in Bass Strait. Rejecting the intended settlement as untenable, Collins sailed south landing on the River Derwent where he settled Hobart instead.
