History And People Australia

Australia is a city which is about 40,000 years old. The first people to live in Australia were called Aboriginals. The Aboriginals came by boat from the islands which is now called as Indonesia. They lived in all parts of Australia. The lives of the peoples were simple, as they had very few needs. They lived by hunting, fishing and gathering food. They lived in groups, and they spoke many different languages. It was hard for Australians to communicate since they spoke many different languages. Until 1901, Australia was not a country, it was six separate colonies managed by Britain. In the 1960s and 1970s Australia became one of the richest countries in the world, because it could mine a lot of iron and other things from the ground that other countries wanted to buy. Companies from United States and Europe came to Australia to increase their profits, and many Australians got jobs with them. Today Australia is a rich, peaceful and democratic country.
