The first Australians were the indigenous people, known originally as the Australian Aborigines. DNA analysis indicates they originated from the Indian subcontinent thousands of years ago.The first known Australians, excluding the indigenous people of Australia, were the convicts, officers and marines of the First Fleet. However, these people could not be said to be Australians, as they considered themselves British through and through. Whilst the continent received many visitors from other countries prior to British settlement, none of them stayed.Among the British and other permanent settlers in Australia, the term Australian was not applied for decades. In the early years, those born in the country were called "currency lads and lasses". Australia as a country was not formed until 1901, so in effect, there were no Australian citizens until that time.

Who introduced merino sheep to Australia and when?
The Father of Australia's sheep industry is often regarded as John Macarthur. He was a man with a great deal of influence in colonial Australia, and it was he who arranged for the first Merino sheep to be brought to Australia from Spain. The first Spanish Merino sheep were brought to Australia in 1796. This type of Merino was a tough sheep which could handle Australia's extreme conditions. There had been little initial success with grain growing - a situation that was rectified as the colony grew - but sheep were an excellent mainstay, easy to maintain and profitable for both domestic and overseas markets.The first sheep came with the First Fleet in 1788, but these were not merinos.See the related link about the role of John Macarthur in the establishment of the Merino sheep in Australia.
