(Cabin Boy) Arthur Phillip Ransom Lesser posing on arrival in Frenchman's Bay, La Perouse - the site where his namesake first landed on the 18th of January 1788 with the 11 ships of the First Fleet (exactly 227 years, 10 months, and 11 days earlier).
Capt. Phillip only took a few days to decide that this wasn't the spot to settle a new colony, and we too are only planning to give it a couple of days.
Things have moved on a bit since the First Fleet. We're playing a plane-spotting game. EV is leading with 10 Qantas, Arthur and I'm second equal with 6 Jetstars and 6 Virgins respectively...
Well done explorers, so how many generations between the Arthurs... say 80 yrs max per person and offspring at age 25, let me know the answer in due course :) xx Nana
