History of Australia
It’s true that the ocean has given birth to many beguiling life forms, veiling it’s creations from being perceived by the world, one such creation is Australia. It all started with the prominent voyage of an Englishman William Dampier reaching the new land in 1688 which was yet to be discovered by the rest of the empire. It is believed that aboriginal people of Australia were removed from the land either by force or will, It’s still debatable in 21s century. However, genetically there is very low evidence of the habitants before the settling of the Britishers.

The sentences were knowingly reduced, some were given early pardons and also were given some piece of land to farm. In 1770, British seafarer Captain James Cook found the new Island with fertility and complete alienated and declared it to be empty of human lives, which broadly attracted the British empire. The Britishers agreed upon settling yet another colony in the new land, named the New South Wales.
