The arrival of the First Fleet and the establishment of a penal colony at Port Jackson meant a collision of worlds on an almost science fiction scale. Did these aliens from Britain think of themselves as "invaders"? How was their arrival received? How do the early years of this story set the trend and the tone for much to come? Jonathan and Jacob zoom in on Sydney town to find a surprisingly human story full of complexity and tension.
