The first settlers arrived in Australia during Australia's mid-Summer.
James Cook was not one of the first settlers in Australia. He died nine years before the First Fleet came to Australia.
The First Fleet brought the first official white settlers to Australia on 26 January 1788. These were the convicts, officers and marines, and their families. However, indications are that white settlers arrived long before this. The western coast of Australia is littered with wrecks of early Dutch ships, and there is evidence that survivors of these shipwrecks established settlements on Australia's western coast.
The first settlers in Australia usually came from an English background.
Kangaroos and wallabies and other members of the kangaroo family ate grass. There were no sheep, goats, pigs or cattle in Australia before white settlement.
Records showing when the very first Chinese came to Australia are not easily accessible. However, within just a few years of the British settling in Australia, there were Chinese arriving as indentured labourers, convicts and free settlers. Chinese were visiting Australia before the Europeans arrived, as early as the 1750s, visiting the northern coasts for delicacies such as trepang.

Pigs were introduced into Australia with the First Fleet, which arrived on 26 January 1788. Among the livestock and provisions, 32 pigs are listed as being on the First Fleet. Pigs were introduced purely for food, as the British colonists had no food supplies already established: thus, they relied on livestock until they could get some crops growing.

North America had white settlers long before Australia did. One of the reasons Australia was settled was because the Americans refused to accept any more convicts from England.
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.
