The chinese might have found Australia we don't have full proof but it is possible that they might have come before the dutch. But both the Dutch and Chinese didn't colonize us. -

Cristovao De Mendonca
He went past Australia all he found was a great big reef which is The Great Barrier Reef now. The bottom of his boat got ripped but not enough for the boat to sink so he kept going on to New Zealand -
Who were the First
It's weird some people say it was the dutch others say the chinese but it was definitely the Aborigines because they came over 40,000 years before any other country -
Capitan James Cook
The English navigator James Cook, possibly the greatest explorer of the 18th century, is known for his voyages to the Pacific Ocean and his application of scientific methods to exploration and to cartography. Born on Oct. 27, 1728, he was the son of a poor Scotsman. -
The First Fleet
The First Fleet of 11 ships, each one no larger than a Manly ferry, left Portsmouth in 1787 with more than 1480 men, women and children onboard. Although most were British, there were also African, American and French convicts. After a voyage of three months the First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788. Here the Aboriginal people, who had lived in isolation for 40,000 years, met the British in an uneasy stand off at what is now known as Frenchmans Beach at La Perouse. -
The Tasmanian genocide
Is where white British settlers wiped out nearly all the native people of Tasmania (then called Van Diemen’s Land) and then sent the few hundred still alive to prison camps where they died of disease and despair. Truganini (pictured), the last full-blooded Tasmanian, died in 1876. -
Federation
Before 1901, Australia was not a nation. At that time, the continent consisted of six British colonies which were partly self-governing, but subject to the law-making power of the British Parliament. Each colony had its own government and laws, including its own railway system, postage stamps and tariffs (taxes). This caused a lot of problems and people began to think about the benefits of uniting as one nation, under a federal system of governance. -
