The question is incorrect. Great Britain began to send its prisoners to Australia in 1788.
However, Britain could no longer send its prisoners to America because of the American War of Independence, in which America essentially severed its ties with Britain.
Because Australia was still technically part of the British Empire ( a Dominion) and was bound by an alliance that required it to participate in wars which involved its "sovereign" country( in this case Britain).
Because Australia had to help their allies which were Britain. And at that time Britain were very weak in the War against Germany so Australia helped them out.
Because It takes longer to fly over Queensland Queenslanders are slow
They were and are a part of the Commonwealth.
Australia was originally ruled by Britain so that one is easy. Britain and US are on friendly terms, so that probably adds to why we have good terms with Australia. While Australia is now formally independent of Britain, Britain has always been close to Australia because it is the mother country and established the nation in the 1700s. The US as a world superpower is necessary to maintain as a friend because of the position it takes on the world stage in economic and defence terms.
because we English captured Australia
Great Britain decided to send prisoners to Australia because, quite simply, it was the best way to colonise the continent. Great Britain wished to colonise Australia for several reasons: 1. To expand the British empire, and prevent the French from gaining a foothold in the Australian continent or in that part of the Pacific. 2. To solve the problem of Britain's overcrowded prisons (a consequence of the Industrial Revolution) by establishing a new penal colony in a land which showed promise for eventually becoming self-supporting. Britain had been sending their excess prisoners to North America, but the American War of Independence put a stop to the practice. After James Cook's successful voyage which involved charting the eastern coast of Australia, New South Wales was seen as a viable proposition for a convict colony. In particular, it was endorsed by Sir Joseph Banks, the influential botanist who travelled with Cook. 3. Australia could provide commercial and political gains to Britain. 4. Due to war, Britain needed to find an alternative supply of Flax and timber as her Baltic supply was under threat. It was believed that nearby Norfolk Island would provide this. 5. Britain needed a port in the East to promote trade with China and to extend its naval and commercial power. The first permanent settlers arrived in Australia with the First Fleet on 26 January 1788 to set up the new penal colony.
Britain, because they are jealous that Australia is a better country
because they love Britain
Because Australia has good relations with the USA and Britain.
Australia fought in wars with Britain because Britain OWNED Australia until after World War 2. The wars after that in which they fought together with the Brits were when they were doing United Nations military functions. They have not fought in any war because OF their desire to support Britain but because they are allies together in the United Nations.

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.
