The continent now occupied by the country of Australia only became known as "Australia" in 1824.

Australia as a country did not exist until Federation of the colonies, which occurred on 1 January 1901, with the establishment of the first Federal Constitution. On this date, the Commonwealth of Australia was born,. meaning that the actual country of Australia was 110 years old in 2011
