At Federation in 1901, the vast majority of people living in Australia were either born somewhere in the United Kingdom or had parents or grandparents born there. At that time, many Australians might have referred to Britain as "home".
As late as the 1950's, many Australians referred to England as "Mother England", amongst other things.
Britain was also Australia's largest trading partner for many years up to the 1960's.
Things cooled off a little during World War 2 when Britain refused to allow Australian troops to return to Australia to defend the country against the expected Japanese invasion.
