Why did the British rule over Australia?
The British ruled Australia because they were the ones who colonised Australia. Australia did not achieve self-government until federation in 1901, and even that was still subject to British rules and guidelines, to a lesser and lesser degree, right up until the Australia Acts of 1986. Although the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia came into effect at Federation, this did not mean that Australia was now independent of Britain. When the UK approved colonial federation, it simply meant that the six self-governing states of Australia allocated some functions to a federal authority. Australia gained the status of a Dominion, which meant it remained a self-governing colony within the British Empire, with the Head of State being the British monarch. The British government appointed Australia's Governor-General and State Governors, who answered to the British government.

Australia was first colonised by the British after they discovered and layed claim to the eastern coast in 1770.

Queen Elizabeth II (Queen of Australia) is Australia's head of state, and she is responsible for appointing the Governor General after request from the Prime Minister. The Governor General is therefore the Queen's representative within the country at a federal level. His/her duties include appointing ambassadors and judges, giving royal assent to legislation and issuing writs for elections. This also works for appointment of state governors, with request from each state's premier. The duties performed by the state governors, as Her Majesty's representatives, are similar to those of the Governor Gerneral, but at a state level.
