Not at all. Most of them are descendants of the free settlers who arrived following the establishment of the early penal colonies. These free settlers arrived primarily from England and the rest of the UK, Germany (from the 1840s), Italy and Greece during the early 19th century, and other countries later on, particularly once the goldrushes started. Many more are descendants of migrants who followed later on.

Why were penal colonys established?
Transportation of criminals to Australia, for instance, gave the British Government a ready source of cheap labour to establish British settlements. It also saved the cost of keeping prisoners in British gaols. Very few transported criminals were able to return to Britain after serving their sentence, many died in the penal colonies. While the term criminal was justified to most prisoners, stealing a loaf of bread when starving in Britain, was often enough to sentence you to transportation.
