The First people in Australia were Aborigines. They arrived there about

12,000 years before from southern Asia. They had very rich forms ofart, painting, song, poetry and mythology. The lives of aboriginesstayed almost the same for thousands of years until the Europeanscame to live in Australia in 1778.

In 1770 J. Cook landed in eastern Australia and declared that it belongedto Britain. In 1778, the British government began sending the firstprisoners to Australia. Overtime many people arrived from Britain and

Europe. Life was difficult. There was very little water and the climatewas very hard.

The Europeans suffered a lot in Australia but the Aborigines suffered a lotmore. Europeans stole their land and killed thousand of Aborigines.They also brought new diseases with them. In parts of Australia, notone Aborigine survived. Today aborigines continue to live in Australiabut there culture in under threat. In 1770, there were about 300,000

Aborigines. Now, there are 120,000. It is becoming harder and harderfor them to continue their traditional way to live.Today Australia is a modern, industrial country, independent from Britain

since 1931. The Commonwealth of Australia consists of 6 states andtwo provinces. It is the worlds biggest producer of wool, bauxite andimportant producer of wheat, meat, sugar and fruit.
