Port Jackson
After a brief stay in Port Jackson "Lady Nelson" was sent to explore and survey the Coal River to the north of Port Jackson. The Coal River was later renamed Hunter River and is now the site of the City of Newcastle. "Lady Nelson" was accompanied by the colonial schooner "Francis". The two vessels left Port Jackson on 10 June 1801. "Francis" returned to Port Jackson on 26 June and the exploration party remained until 22 July 1801 when they departed for Port Jackson, arriving there on 25 July 1801.
