Australia Poeple






The island of Australia was settled by convicts with some people that came over with them in the beginning. After the shipment of the convict fleets a little later followed them bring new people which brought sheep to the land which has had a giant impact for the English in the harsh land. When gold was found in Australia that's when people started coming in full. Around ten years the country had tripled its amount of people with the gold rush.

There were also natives the Aborigines they had migrated to Australia long before England had inhabited it. They are nomads living off the land and cut off from the rest of the as they were on a island. When England first came to Australia, Aborigines had no knowledge of agriculture and there only domestic animal was the dingo. The 2 different race did clash to bad not they did in America, but Aborigines did die from disease brought over by the English. Now the government is trying to help the Aborigines so their numbers have grown over the years.


Australian has many sports it plays from swimming to rugby. With the climate warm all the time people can play outdoor sports year around. There biggest sport their know for is tennis Australia has dominated the world or tennis

Many people that go to Australia tend to live in the city, but the other that don't usually become ranch of cattle or sheep. Wool from sheep is Australia's largest export so they depend on it very much. Australia is more open so it is easier to have a larger number of cattle to move and graze. Most ranchers use planes to work as they are so far out in the bush that a plane is the easiest thing to find their cattle in the open land or sheep. Radio and planes are big for ranches as they use them to keep in contact with the cities and to fly in doctors or dentist when needed.
