Australia was never a colony, Australia is a federation of states (former colonies) that oficialy started in 1901.
Australia is considered a former colony because it was established as a colony of Great Britain in 1788. Its early Governors were all appointed by the authorities in Great Britain, and its laws were set by British laws.
Australia is the largest former British colony south of the equator. It gained independence from Britain in 1901 and is now a sovereign nation.
A colony is not a country, and a country cannot be a colony. A country is a sovereign, independent, self-governing entity. A colony is an area that is controlled by another country. Many countries used to be colonies, such as the US, Ghana, India, and Australia.
