On January 30, 1901, after a voyage of about a month, the fleet finally arrived at Sydney Harbour in Australia.
Prime Minister Evan had prepared a rather grand welcome ceremony, and once again, Sydney Harbour was packed with people.
It had been three months since they set off for Europe. Both the visiting group and Arthur had begun to miss Australia.
Since the aid treaties signed with Britain and Germany were good news for Australia and Australians, Arthur would not miss such an excellent opportunity to win people's hearts. He gave a small speech at the harbour, eliciting enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.
Afterwards, he returned to the manor house, with no other engagements. The reason was that after a long, tedious, and bumpy journey at sea, all Arthur wanted to do now was lie on the big bed in his manor and have a good rest.
The task of settling Disel, Benson, and the workers was left to Prime Minister Evan.
