Port Jackson, Australia
The First Fleet (a fleet which consisted of 11 ships) arrived in Port Jackson, Australia with English people whom were not free (aka criminals). The not-so-free people didn't know how to farm which led to a food problem aka a famine. Before being transported, the criminals used slangs for stuff such as:
Swag (term for stolen goods taken in a robbery)
Billy (term for pot of boiling water)
The settlers lost their british accents and there are now different accents across australia.
