The large number of early settlers in Australia are often referred to as the "First Fleet," which consisted of ships that arrived in 1788 carrying convicts, soldiers, and settlers from Britain. This marked the beginning of European colonization in Australia. Additionally, the term "colonists" can also describe these early inhabitants who established settlements across the continent.
