I'm surprised you'd think that.
Tbf, the first colony is commonly viewed as being the beginning of Australia, so to speak, at least around the parts I'm living in.

Australia, as a country and as a colony, didn't exist prior to his landing. It was a historic event which led to the creation of the country.
People need to get over it.

There was a society there before the UK came.
Thats kinda like saying there wasn't any civilization in the new world before the spaniards arrived.
Nevertheless, I'm conflicted on this.
On one hand, I don't like Columbus Day beacuse of all the murdering and what not.
On the other, Columbus Day I also don't like beacuse Columbus stole Erikson's credit.
(Also Vikings are cooler than Columbus)
And then again, most National birthdays are like this.
(See Bastille Day, 4th July, the creatively named "National Day" for China)
On the other other hand, that doesn't make them right.
But then again, hard to be mad at someone who does something like everyone else does.
So, kinda bad, but acceptical.
(for the record, I think that the French Revolution was a good thing and so was the 4th of july and maybe even "National Day")

I never said there weren't any societies, merely that Australia as a country and a colony didn't exist until the British landed there. Which is true.

I never said anything about a unified Australia, but why exactly where they not countries? What did they do differently than the Aztecs or the Native North Americans?
