The first colonists arrived at several seaports in northern Australia, and then the British arrived in southeastern Australia. The geologist who accompanied them made only a short visit to Australia and declared that the land belonged to Britain.

At first, the British were afraid of Australian cannibals-Maori, but they bought land by peaceful means or seized land by provoking tribal struggles, while a few indigenous people in Australia were unable to fight with guns of foreign colonists (1). Two: Australia has a large area, and European colonial activities have basically not affected their production and life; The conflict between Australians and British colonists was rare and small in scale, and basically did not lead to serious bloody tragedies except expelling and excluding coastal aborigines. It is unprecedented that indigenous people and foreign colonists can live in harmony, and it has also become a model for later colonists to deal with complex contradictions with local indigenous people. Today, Australia is still a country full of harmony and vitality. Its inland areas are almost uninhabited, and indigenous people can live a carefree life here, while coastal areas are a paradise for immigrants.
