The History
History of Australia
• In relation to the island that we now
know as Australia, its occupation
began approximately 60 thousand
years ago. It occurred with the
migration of the first aboriginal
peoples who left the Asian continent
towards Oceania, then settling in
Australian lands.
How English arrived in Australia:
• As in all other English-speaking countries, the
origin of English is linked to colonialism. England
took control of countries and people and
imposed its language, as well as its laws,
education and culture. Colonists from the United
Kingdom arrived in 1788 in what is now Australia.
Geography of Australia:
•Australia is an island country located in Oceania
and represents 89.8% of the continent's entire
area.

simplification and adaptation. Certain sounds
were softened or altered, and new words were
created to describe Australian flora, fauna and
Aboriginal culture.
