 Australia,
officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country
in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland of
the world's smallest continent and a number of islands
in the Southern, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. Neighbouring
countries include Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New
Guinea to the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and
the French dependency of New Caledonia to the northeast,
and New Zealand to the southeast.
The mainland of the continent of Australia has been inhabited
for more than 42,000 years by Indigenous Australians.
After sporadic visits by fishermen from the north and
by European explorers and merchants starting in the seventeenth
century, the eastern half of the mainland was claimed
by the British in 1770 and officially settled through
penal transportation as the colony of New South Wales
on 26 January 1788. As the population grew and new areas
were explored, another five largely self-governing Crown
Colonies were successively established over the course
of the 19th century.
