The first people in Australia were the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. DNA matching indicates they originally came from the Indian sub-continent.

The first white people to step foot on the shores of the Australian continent were Dutch trader Willem Jansz and members of his crew, who arrived on Cape York Peninsula in 1606.

The first white people to live permanently in Australia were convicts and officers transported to New South Wales.
