Australia

• The mainland of the continent of Australia has
  been inhabited for more than 42,000 years by
  Indigenous Australians. After sporadic visits by
  fishermen from the north and by European
  explorers and merchants starting in the
  seventeenth century, the eastern half of the
  mainland was claimed by the British in 1770 and
  officially settled through penal transportation
  as the colony of New South Wales on 26 January
  1788. As the population grew and new areas were
  explored, another five largely self-governing
  Crown Colonies were successively established over
  the course of the 19th century. On 1 January
  1901, the six colonies became a Federation, and
  the Commonwealth of Australia was formed.
