Captain James Cook discovered Australia in
1770. He was sent to discover the huge
land that many people believed was south
of the equator. He landed south of present
day Sydney in New South Wales. He
claimed this part of the land for the King of
England.

In 1851 gold was discovered about
300 km west of Sydney. People rushed
to the gold fields to find their fortunes.
This attracted robbers called
bushrangers.
The Aborigines
are the Australian
natives that had
been living there
for thousands of
years before the
first Europeans
came to Australia
in the 1600s.
The flag of Australia is the only one to
fly over a whole continent. The small
Union Jack represents the historical
link with Britain, the large sevenpointed star represents the six States
and Territories, and the small stars
from the Southern Cross – a
prominent feature of the southern
hemisphere night sky.

Australia's coat of arms – the official
emblem of the Australian Government –
was granted by George V in 1912. The
arms consist of a shield containing the
badges of the six states. The supporters
are native Australian fauna – a kangaroo
and an emu. A yellow-flowered native
plant, wattle, also appears in the design.

The First people in Australia were Aborigines. They arrived there
about 12,000 years before from southern Asia. They had very rich
forms of art, painting, song, poetry and mythology. The lives of
aborigines stayed almost the same for thousands of years until the
Europeans came to live in Australia in 1778.
In 1770 J. Cook landed in eastern Australia and declared that it
belonged to Britain. In 1778, the British government began sending
the first prisoners to Australia. Overtime many people arrived from
Britain and Europe. Life was difficult. There was very little water
and the climate was very hard.
The Europeans suffered a lot in Australia but the Aborigines suffered
a lot more. Europeans stole their land and killed thousand of
Aborigines. They also brought new diseases with them. In parts of
Australia, not one Aborigine survived. Today aborigines continue to
live in Australia but there culture in under threat. In 1770, there
were about 300,000 Aborigines. Now, there are 120,000. It is
becoming harder and harder for 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 and two provinces. It is the world’s biggest producer of
wool, bauxite and important producer of wheat, meat, sugar and
fruit.
