No. Australia is a country and a continent separate from Britain.
Yes, Australia is apart of Great Britain and who ever says it isn't there wrong cause guess what I am from Australia

NEW ANSWER:

I am not sure that being from Australia qualifies you to know anything. What part of Great Britain is Australia then? It is a continent and is obviously, on this basis alone, not a part of the same continent as Great Britain. The states in Australia, if that's how they are referred to, are independent from each other as states in this country might be. Perhaps they are a colony? I do know that most of Australia's population is descendant from the convicts and criminals who were some of the early inhabitants of the continent. They were sent from places like Great Britain to rid their societies of the curs.

No, although the Queen is still officially the symbolic head of state. Check out the wiki article on Ozz for more info.
The United Kingdom refers to the lands that comprise the British Isles. It consists of Ireland, Wales and England. Australia is not part of that group.

No, although it was once a british colony. It is, however, still considered to be part of the British Commonwealth as is Canada.

Australia was first claimed for Britain in 1770. James Cook was the first European to chart the eastern coast, naming it New South Wales and claiming it for Britain in April 1770.
