Australia was first settled as a penal colony, housing the excess convicts from England. However, this was not its only purpose. It was set up to become its own self-sufficient colony as the British wanted a strong presence in the Pacific. The continent also provided the British Empire with natural resources.
The islands of the Pacific Ocean were originally settled by skilled navigators and seafarers, primarily from Southeast Asia, who used advanced canoe technology and navigational skills. These early settlers, known as the Austronesians, embarked on long voyages across vast distances, guided by the stars, ocean currents, and bird behaviors. They began settling in the region around 3,500 years ago, gradually spreading to various island groups, including Polynesia, Micronesia, and Melanesia. This remarkable migration led to the establishment of diverse cultures and communities across the Pacific islands.
