Emigration and Refugees
A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their country of origin to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. News often show thousands of people trying to cross the country's borders when civil unrest or war threatens people's lives. Leaving one's country is called emigration, though not everyone who emigrates is a refugee.. Many refugees go to a 'refugee camp' if one is available, but many refugees take huge chances to leave their country and do not have access to support services, such as camps. Some people legally seek "refugee status" in the new country.

Why did Europeans emigrate to Australia in the first wave of immigrants 1830-1930?
Other than the natives that lived there, Australia started off being used as a jail for all of Englands criminals.
AnswerOriginally the first migrants were sent to Australia as an answer to the overfilled prisons in England when the Americans won independence from Britain and it was considered an ideal location due to its isolation and, being an island, it offered minimal chance to escape.
Following them came more European settlers including Germans who were avoiding religious persecution and hard times in their homeland.
Since then Australia has become a diverse society with immigrants from all nations coming for a variety of reasons including the climate, freedoms, escaping the ravages of war and land availability

If the Nazis were trying to exterminate the Jews why did they allow them to emigrate out of Germany?
Nazi policy towards the Jews (or at least towards West European Jews) changed in August/September 1941. Until then the Nazis wanted Jews out of Germany and other West European countries under their control. From September 1941 onwards the policy changed to extermination. The first deportations of Jews from Germany to killing fields in Latvia and Belarus began in October 1941. (It is worth noting that the requirement that Jews in Germany and other Nazi occupied countries was introduced in September 1941. In Poland, where Nazi policies towards the Jews became harsher earlier, it had been introduced a year earlier). The idea that the Nazis had always wanted to exterminate the Jews and had some kind of blueprint for the Holocaust already in the 1920s is one of those popular myths and went virtually unchallenged from 1945 till about 1960. Nazi policy became more extreme over time.
Why did the Jews not simply flee Germany and emigrate to the US?
Many wanted to do precisely that, but in the interwar period the US had highly restrictive immigration policies and these were enforced.

By the way, there were also political, non-Jewish refugees from Germany swelling the numbers applying for entry to the US.
