The Aborigines were the first immigrants thousands of years ago. The next wave started with the First Fleet in 1788. After the discovery of gold in the 19th century, people came from all over the world. The next major wave of immigrants was post World War 2, mostly from Italy, and from Europe generally. Then in the 1970's, it was pretty much everybody who wanted to come here including refugees by legal and illegal means.
