| LOGICAL PROGRESSION
OF IDEAS Climate, soil & food sources are mentioned before the ability of the convicts to obtain self sufficiency as these are the factors which will allow the convicts to gain self sufficiency. Convicts are referred to as the last factor in the initial list of advantages of Botany Bay. The next point outlines another advantage of this area in relation to convicts. Thus information dealing with the same subject is grouped together. |
According to the reports of Captain James Cook and Sir Joseph Banks, Botany Bay offered many advantages. These included a coastal area with a sheltered port, friendly natives, a pleasant climate, fertile soil, food sources including wild fruits, vegetables, birds and fish, and an environment in which the convicts could be self sufficient in a year. It was also attractive due to its great distance from Britain and the fact that the convicts would have no means of escape. In addition, it offered two significant advantages: it was a strategic stronghold in the East and it promised to be an important naval store of flax, hemp and timber. |
