Captain James Cook discovered Australia in 1770. He was sent to discover the huge land that many people believed was south of the
equator. He landed south of present day Sydney in New South Wales. He claimed this part of the land for the
King of England.
In 1851 gold was discovered about 300 km west of Sydney.
People rushed to the gold fields to find their fortunes. This attracted
robbers called bushrangers.
The Aborigines are the Australian natives that had been living there for thousands of years before the first Europeans came to Australia in the 1600s.
Australia's coat of arms – the official emblem of the Australian Government – was granted by
George V in 1912. The arms consist of a shield containing the badges of the six states. The supporters are
native Australian fauna – a kangaroo and an emu. A yellow-
flowered native plant, wattle, also appears in the design.
The flag of Australia is the only one to fly over a whole continent. The small Union Jack represents
the historical link with Britain, the large seven-pointed star
represents the six States and Territories, and the small stars
from the Southern Cross – a prominent feature of the southern
hemisphere night sky.
