A Brief History of Australia's Early Settlers and British Colonization

The history of Australia’s early settlers begins with the arrival of Eastern Polynesians, the ancestors of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, around AD 800. The continent was later discovered by the Dutch in the 17th century, with Abel Tasman's explorations paving the way for Captain James Cook's landing at Botany Bay in 1770, claiming the land for Britain. The British settlement in 1788 marked the start of a penal colony, drastically impacting indigenous lifestyles and cultures until Australia federated as a Commonwealth in 1901.
