Great Britain's first settlers were prehistoric peoples who arrived during the Stone Age, around 800,000 years ago. The most notable early settlers were the Celts, who arrived around 600 BC and established various tribes across the island. Following them, the Romans invaded in 43 AD, leading to significant cultural and infrastructural changes. Over centuries, the island saw waves of migration and settlement by various groups, including the Anglo-Saxons and Normans.
The very first European settlers in Australia (not including the Aborigines who were the first inhabitants) were a mix of convicts, officers and marines, and free settlers, all of whom came from Britain.
Great Britain
Great Britain colonised Australia. Australia was settled as a penal colony, and also a colony for free settlers (it was never a slave colony). Great Britain wished to expand its empire, and to offset the possibility of the French colonising the continent.The First Fleet arrived in 1788 and more free settlers sought passage on the Second Fleet which arrived in Sydney in 1790. Subsequent fleets brought more convicts and free settlers.

While in Britain, the settlers wanted a new, independent lifestyle that granted them religious freedom and a new life. However, after arriving in America, the settlers wanted to be free of the incredible taxation Britain was placing on them. They also wanted to be free of a monarchy and establish their own government. They could inly do this if they declared independence so they did. All in short, the settlers wanted to be free of Britain's enormous amount of taxation.
