As you probably know, Australia was a prisoner colony. In other words: They started from zero and had to import every thing -- as every colony in its beginning. After some time, resources were discovered. As far I know, they had to import alcohol, because they were limited by regulations from Britain.

If you do some further researches, you can find out, which resources Australia doesn't have, but they have most of them.

Also they needed new prisoners to work on the big farms. These could also just come (in these early times) from Britain.

Britain ---- Actually, "belong to" is probably not the correct term. More correct terminology would be to say that Australia and New Zealand were colonised by and governed from Britain. They were part of the British Empire, but since the Indigenous Australians were not recognised as British citizens, it could not be truly said that Australia "belonged" to Britain.
