Australia and its People
Australia’s first inhabitants were the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. They are the Indigenous people of Australia. Australia’s Indigenous cultures are the oldest continuing cultures in the world.
Historically, Aboriginal people are from mainland Australia and Tasmania. They have lived here for between 40 000 and 60 000 years.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQGApoHMZYI

Discovery and SettlementEuropean settlement started when the first 11 convict ships, which became known as the ‘First Fleet’, arrived from Great Britain on 26 January 1788. (Date now celebrated as Australia Day).
The first governor of the colony of New South Wales was Captain Arthur Phillip. He overcame many problems in the first few years of European settlement. The Colony survived and as more convicts and free settlers arrived, it grew and developed. More colonies were established in other parts of the country.

population was counted at about four million people. This number did not include the Indigenous people.
