| *European migration to Australia began with British convict settlement.
| |
| *The First Fleet comprised 11 ships carrying 775 convicts and 645 officials, members of the crew, marines, and their families and children. The settlers consisted of petty criminals, second-rate soldiers and a crew of sailors.
| |
| *There were few with skills needed to start a self-sufficient settlement, such as farmers and builders, and the colony experienced hunger and hardships. Male settlers far outnumbered female settlers.
| |
| *The Second Fleet arrived in 1790 bringing more convicts. The conditions of the transportation was described as horrific and worse than slave transports. Of the 1,026 convicts who embarked, 267 (256 men and 11 women) died during the voyage (26%); a further 486 were sick when they arrived of which 124 died soon after.
| |
| *The fleet was more of a drain on the struggling settlement than of any benefit.
| |
| *Conditions on the Third Fleet, which followed on the heels of the Second Fleet in 1791, were a bit better. The fleet comprised 11 ships. Of the more than 2000 convicts brought onto the ships, 173 male convicts and 9 female convicts died during the voyage.
| |
| *Other transport fleets bringing further convicts as well as freemen to the colony would follow. By the end of the penal transportation in 1868, approximately 165,000 people had entered Australia as convicts.

| ===Bounty Immigration===
| |
| *The '''Bounty Immigration Scheme (1835-1841)''' boosted emigration from the United Kingdom to New South Wales.[11] The South Australia Company was established to encourage settlement in South Australia by laborers and skilled migrants.
| |
| ===Gold Rush and Population Growth===
| |
| *The Gold rush era, beginning in 1851, led to an enormous expansion in population, including large numbers of '''British and Irish settlers''', followed by smaller numbers of '''Germans and other Europeans, and Chinese'''. This latter group were subject to increasing restrictions and discrimination, making it impossible for many to remain in the country.
| |
| *One of the first acts of the new Commonwealth Government was the Immigration Restriction Act 1901, otherwise known as the''' White Australia policy''', designed to restrict non-White settlement.
| |
| *With the onset of the Great Depression, the Governor-General proclaimed the cessation of immigration until further notice, and the next group to arrive were 5000 '''Jewish refugee families from Germany in 1938'''.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Post-war Immigration to Australia===
| | [[Category:Idaho]] |
| *After World War II Australia launched a massive immigration program, believing that having narrowly avoided a Japanese invasion, Australia must "populate or perish". Hundreds of thousands of displaced Europeans migrated to Australia and over 1,000,000 British subjects immigrated under the '''Assisted Passage Migration Scheme.'''
| |
| *In the 1970s, multiculturalism largely displaced cultural selectivity in immigration policy.
