Although Australia was under the control of the British Crown from 1770 (when William the Fourth was on the throne) no king was ever styled King of Australia.

In 1901 Australia became a self-governing dominion with the British monarch as the constitutional head of state. Thus, the first king of Australia was King Edward VII who ruled Australia from 1901 to 1910. The first Queen of Australia was Queen Victoria who ruled for less than 1 month in 1901.

The indigenous Australians, known as the Aborigines, had their own system of laws and rules.

If the question refers to the first rulers from a white society, then the first would be Governor Arthur Phillip, who oversaw the first colony, New South Wales, in 1788.
