Admiral Arthur Phillip RN ( 11 October 173831 August 1814 ) was the first Governor of New South Wales, and founder of the settlement which became Sydney.

After much experience at sea, including command of a ship that was saved in a storm by convicts, Phillip sailed with the First Fleet, as Governor-designate of the proposed British penal colony of New South Wales.

Phillip was a far-sighted governor, who soon saw that New South Wales would need a civil administration and a system for emancipating the convicts.

The arrival of the Second and Third Fleets placed new pressures on the scarce local resources, but by the time Phillip sailed home in December 1792, the colony was taking shape, with official land-grants and systematic farming and water-supply.

Arthur Phillip was born in 1738, the son of Jacob Phillip, a Frankfurt-born language teacher, and his English wife, Elizabeth Breach.

Phillip was educated at the Greenwich Hospital School, part of Greenwich Hospital, and at the age of 13 was apprenticed to the merchant navy.

A garbled version of this eventually found its way into the English press when Phillip was appointed in 1786 to lead the expedition to Sydney.

The San Agustin was commissioned into the Portuguese Navy as the Santo Agostinho, and command of her was given to Phillip.

In 1778 Britain was again at war, and Phillip was recalled to active service, and in 1779 obtained his first command, HMS Basilisk.

Phillip was given command of the Europe.

Lord Sydney, as Secretary of State for the Home Office, was the minister in charge of this undertaking, and in September 1786 he appointed Phillip commodore of the fleet which was to transport the convicts and soldiers who were to be the new settlers to Botany Bay.

Upon arrival there, Phillip was to assume the powers of Captain General and Governor in Chief of the new colony.

In October 1786, Phillip was appointed captain of and named Governor-designate of New South Wales, the proposed British colony on the east coast of Australia, by Lord Sydney, the Home Secretary.

Phillip had a very difficult time assembling the fleet which was to make the eight-month sea voyage to Australia.

Phillip was accompanied by a contingent of marines and a handful of other officers who were to administer the colony.

Phillip soon decided that this site, chosen on the recommendation of Sir Joseph Banks, who had accompanied James Cook in 1770, was not suitable, since it had poor soil, no secure anchorage and no reliable water source.

On the beach at Manly, a misunderstanding arose and Phillip was speared in the shoulder: but he ordered his men not to retaliate.

The Governor's main problem was with his own military officers, who wanted large grants of land, which Phillip had not been authorised to grant.

As a result scurvy broke out, and in October 1788 Phillip had to send Sirius to Cape Town for supplies, and strict rationing was introduced, with thefts of food punished by hanging.

Sirius was wrecked in March 1790 at the satellite settlement of Norfolk Island, depriving Phillip of vital supplies.

In 2007, Geoffrey Robertson QC alleged that Phillip's remains are no longer in St Nicholas Church, Bathampton and have been lost: "... Captain Arthur Phillip is not where the ledger stone says he is: it may be that he is buried somewhere outside, it may simply be that he is simply lost.

He died in Charleston on August 18, 1798 and is buried in St. Phillip ’ s Churchyard there.

To the west of The Lawns is the Victorian municipal cemetery, where poet Phillip Larkin is buried.

Phillip was buried in the church after his death in 1814 and although it was unnoticed for many years, the grave was discovered in 1897 and the Premier of New South Wales, Sir Henry Parkes, had it restored.

Peter Phillip Bonetti ( born 27 September 1941 in Putney, London of Swiss parents from Canton Ticino ) is a former football goalkeeper for Chelsea, the St. Louis Stars, Dundee United and England.

Effingham was among the original counties of the state of Georgia, created February 5, 1777 from the colonial parishes of St. Matthew and St. Phillip.

He began his involvement with Sydney's St Stephen's Church as a stonemason, working on the now demolished Phillip Street Church ( where Martin Place now stands ).

Before being officially named St Kilda in 1841 by Charles La Trobe, who was superintendent of the Port Phillip District of New South Wales, the area was known by several names, including ' Green Knoll ' and ' The Village of Fareham '.

In February 2008, the Port Phillip Council's approval of the proposed Triangle site development despite over 5, 000 written objections ( representing over a quarter of the population of St Kilda ) caused an uproar in St Kilda which saw media attention across Victoria with local resident lobby groups including Save St Kilda and UnChain St Kilda banding thousands of residents together in protest and enlisting the help of celebrities including Dave Hughes, Magda Subzanski and Rachel Griffiths in their fight against the local council.

St Benet has been the Church of the College of Arms since 1555, when Phillip and Mary gave Derby House, standing at the northeast corner of the churchyard, to the officers of arms.
