Who were the first settlers in Australia and where did they come from?

The first "official" European settlers in Australia were the group of convicts, officers and marines who came out from England on the First Fleet in 1788. However, there is strong evidence to suggest that the first European settlers in Australia were Dutch sailors stranded after being shipwrecked off the Western Australian coast in the early 1600s.
