The first people in Australia were the Aborigines, who came to this land more than 40,000 years ago. Chinese sailors visited the place 2,500 years ago, and later, in the 17th century the first Europeans arrived. One of them was the British sailor Captain James Cook who landed on the east coast and said that Australia now belonged to Britain. For the Aborigines it was the beginning of a terrible time.

Britain soon began to send convicts1 to the new country. In 1787, eleven ships left England for Australia. They were carrying 772 convicts. Their life in Australia was very difficult. And the newcomers had to work a lot. They made the first roads and farms.

In the middle of the 19th century they found gold in Australia. Thousands of people came to the country from North America, Britain and China. Cities began growing fast, there appeared new roads and railways. On 1 January 1901, the six Australian states became one country. At that time Britain was still very important for Australia. A lot of people left Great Britain for a new life in Australia, but thought of Britain as their “home”. After 1945 millions of people moved to Australia from all over the world. Now Australia is an important country in the east with a very unusual historical past.
