Just read:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/First-Fleet-Rob-Mundle-ebook/dp/B00KV08ZP6/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1428407977&sr=1-1&keywords=first+fleet
which was focused on Phillip and his time going to and in Australia.
Now reading
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Fatal-Shore-Robert-Hughes-ebook/dp/B003ATPQ8E/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=11PE45BJDHTCD58Q3X2W
which is a more detailed book. A lot about the background to the idea of transportation and more about the ensuing years after Phillip's departure.
The first one is very based on the writings of the original travellers on the First Fleet. The second is broader and somewhat more opinionated but none the worse for it.
My next book is
http://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Cargo-Forgotten-History-Britains-ebook/dp/B0051UTQB8/ref=pd_cp_kinc_3
about transportation before Australia was invented.
I am then moving on to the American Revolutionary War.
