They were both.
From the Aborigines' point of view, they were invaders, taking aboriginal lands and pillaging their hunting grounds.
The definition of a 'settler' is one who settles an area, clearing the land and building residences and farms. For this reason, the Europeans that came to Australia were settlers.
