His first commission was to transport convicts and other passengers from Port Jackson to the Derwent. During this time Jeffreys began writing many publications for British immigrants intending to settle in Van Diemen's Land. His book Geographical and Descriptive Delineations of the Island of Van Diemen's Land (1820) was found to be largely plagiarised from a manuscript written by his co-traveller Surveyor George Evans. Jeffreys was not regarded as a very competent officer so was sent to Ceylon and later back to England. When Jeffreys returned to Tasmania he obtained a grant of 800 acres at Pittwater. 1814 1814 Life event - Arrived in Australia (Port Jackson, New South Wales) 1814 1815 Career position - Sailed to Hobart Town many times 1815 1816 Career position - Sailed for Ceylon, naming Molle Island in the Whitsunday Passage, Mount Jeffreys on Molle Island and Princess Charlotte Bay on Cape Yorke Peninsula 1817 1820 Career position - Returned to the United Kingdom 1820 1820 Career position - Geographical and Descriptive Delineations of the Island of Van Diemen's Land published in the UK 1820 1820 Career position - Arrived in Hobart
