BACKGROUND MAIN MENU Prehistoric settlers arrived on the
continent from Southeast Asia at least 40,000 years before the
first Europeans began exploration in the 17th century. No formal
territorial claims were made until 1770, when Capt. James COOK took
possession of the east coast in the name of Great Britain (all of
Australia was claimed as British territory in 1829 with the
creation of the colony of Western Australia). Six colonies were
created in the late 18th and 19th centuries; they federated and
became the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901. The new country took
advantage of its natural resources to rapidly develop agricultural
and manufacturing industries and to make a major contribution to
the Allied effort in World Wars I and II. In recent decades,
Australia has become an internationally competitive, advanced
market economy due in large part to economic reforms adopted in the
1980s and its location in one of the fastest growing regions of the
world economy. Long-term concerns include aging of the population,
pressure on infrastructure, and environmental issues such as
floods, droughts, and bushfires. Australia is the driest inhabited
continent on earth, making it particularly vulnerable to the
challenges of climate change. Australia is home to 10 per cent of
the world's biodiversity, and a great number of its flora and fauna
exist nowhere else in the world. In January 2013, Australia assumed
a nonpermanent seat on the UN Security Council for the 2013-14
term
Slide 12

will change to a better living environment.
