Best Answer

Colonists did not understand the land as Aboriginal people did. They wanted to turn Australia into the same farming produce type land that Europe and UK was. So they had to introduce plants from UK and Europe. This did not always work well as Australia has a very different climate than that of Europe and the UK.

This was the same reason for the introduction of animals into the Australian continent. Cattle, sheep, birds and rabbits were introduced. This had a devastating affect on the country.
