Islam arrived in Australia in the early 18th century with Muslim sailors and traders from the Indonesian archipelago, particularly the Macassan traders who interacted with Aboriginal communities. The first recorded Muslim presence was in the 1860s, with the arrival of Afghan cameleers who played a vital role in exploring and developing the interior of Australia. Over time, the Muslim population grew, especially during the 20th century, with waves of migration from various countries. Today, Islam is one of the major religions in Australia.
