The third edition of the dMAC Digest contains information on the First Fleet which was the first step in the colonization of the continent, later named Australia. It arrived on 20 January 1788 and consisted of 1,044 persons, of which 696 were convicts, in nine ships. Two French ships commanded by Laperouse, arrived in Botany Bay, four days after the main English fleet had landed. Other articles detailing information on Hepatitis as well as studies on why Late-Life Exercisers are more healthy than elderly non-exercisers, are included.
