∙ 12y agoYes; Australia was originally a British colony.
The British colonised Australia to expand the British empire, and prevent the French from gaining a foothold in the Australian continent or in that part of the Pacific. A convict colony was established in New South Wales in 26 January 1788, and this is when the British flag was raised on Australian flag for the first time.
