The first attempt to settle Victoria occurred in 1803, when Lieutenant David Collins established a convict colony near present-day Sorrento. Lack of fresh water and unsuitable soil for agriculture caused Collins to abandon the southern coast settlement and move across Bass Strait to Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania).

The next, more successful attempt to establish a permanent settlement in Victoria was in 1836, when John Batman began the town of Melbourne, and the Henty brothers took up land near Portland.

Various early Dutch explorers ventured into South Australia's western coastline during the 1600s. South Australia could be said to have been discovered in 1627, when Thijssen recorded the first observations of the South Australian coast.

Adelaide, capital of South Australia, was named after Queen Adelaide, a German princess. She was the wife of William IV, the English king who reigned from 1830 until he died in 1837.

The holiday on the first Monday in October in South Australia is Labour Day. It is the same as the Labour Day (or Labor Day) celebrated all over the world, which came about as a result of the efforts of the labour union movement. Whilst Labor Day is usually celebrated on May 1 in many countries, in Australia the Labour Day public holiday is determined by the different state and territory governments: consequently, its date varies. In the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales and South Australia, it is held on the first Monday in October. In both Victoria and Tasmania, it is the second Monday in March (although Tasmania calls it Eight Hours Day). In Western Australia, Labour Day is the first Monday in March. In Queensland and the Northern Territory, it is the first Monday in May. It is always held on a Monday to enable Australians to have a long weekend...
