Great Britain colonised Australia. Australia was settled as a penal colony, and also a colony for free settlers (it was never a slave colony). Great Britain wished to expand its empire, and to offset the possibility of the French colonising the continent.
The First Fleet arrived in 1788 and more free settlers sought passage on the Second Fleet which arrived in Sydney in 1790. Subsequent fleets brought more convicts and free settlers.
