Almost all of the convicts on the First Fleet were European. They were all convicted in England, and were generally a mix of British, Scots, Welsh and Irish.

There is a record of one man not being European. Australia's first bushranger was a man named John 'Black' Caesar, who was a slave from Madagascar who escaped in England and was caught stealing.
