"History
The original inhabitants of Australia were a people called Aborigines. The first known European discovery of the continent by a Dutch navigator named Willem Jansz who briefly visited the northern coast in 1606, in 1642 and 1643, Dutch sea captain Abel Tasman, landed on the island which was eventually named after him, Tasmania. In 1770 James Cook of the Britsh army became the first European to sight and explore Australia´s east coast. Cook claimed the region for Great Britain and named it New South Wales. The first white settlement in Australia was up of about 730 prisoners sent there to relieve overcrowding in British prisons. They were acoompaneid by about 300 British soldiers and some of their families. They landed at Botany Bay, on Australia´s east coast. The nearby settlement was the beginning of the city of Sidney.
After many years of continued exploration and settlement of Australia, a great increase in the population of Australia occurred between 1850 and 1860 after the discovery of gold in the southwest. As most people did not find enough gold to pay their passage home so they stayed.
After the various colonies in Australia decided to unite into a single nation and unitied government, on January 1, 1901 the six colonies became states of a new nation, the Commonwealth of Australia."
