Because of its nature as a forced settlement, the early colony's economy was heavily dependent on the state. [1] For example, some of the earliest agricultural production was directly run by the government. The Commissariat also played a major role in the economy. [74] In 1800, 72% of the population relied on government rations, but this was reduced to 32% by 1806. [1] While some convicts were assigned to settlers as labourers, they were usually free to find part-time work for supplemental income, and were allowed to own property (in contravention to British law at the time). [1] Some convicts had their skills taken to use by the colonial government, as with for example the architect Francis Greenway, who designed many early public buildings. Approximately 10–15% of the convicts worked on public projects building infrastructure, while most of the rest were assigned to private employers. [75] Land grants were abandoned in 1831 in favour of selling crown lands, which covered all land deemed "unsettled". [76] [77] Queen's Theatre – About the Theatre".

In 1700, Australia was part of the British Empire and traded with the British Empire. The British Empire was a global trade empire and the largest in the world. The British Empire controlled a large portion of the world’s trade, including the trade between the colonies and the mother country. The British Empire was also a major source of investment for the colonies. When the Bellona transport came to anchor in Sydney Cove on 16 January 1793, she brought with her the first immigrant free settlers. They were: Thomas Rose, a farmer from Dorset, his wife and four children; he was allowed a grant of 120 acres; Frederic Meredith, who had formerly been at Sydney with HMS Sirius; Thomas Webb (who had also been formerly at Sydney with the Sirius), his wife, and his nephew, Joseph Webb; Edward Powell, who had formerly been at Sydney with the Juliana transport, and who married a free woman after his arrival. Thomas Webb and Edward Powell each received a grant of 80 acres; and Joseph Webb and Frederic Meredith received 60 acres each.

From the 1820s squatters increasingly established unauthorised cattle and sheep runs beyond the official limits of the settled colony. In 1836, a system of annual licences authorising grazing on Crown Land was introduced in an attempt to control the pastoral industry, but booming wool prices and the high cost of land in the settled areas encouraged further squatting. By 1844 wool accounted for half of the colony's exports and by 1850 most of the eastern third of New South Wales was controlled by fewer than 2,000 pastoralists.

Apart from trade, there is little point in Australia providing military assistance to the United Kingdom in two World Wars. Australia was originally only a colony in the sense that it was intended to house undesirables from England. The discovery of mines made the area more appealing in the traditional sense of colonial engagement. King, Robert J. (1 December 1999). "What brought Laperouse to Botany Bay?".

Fun Fact: The colonisation of Australia by Britain is why Australians speak English. Before the British settled, there were a number of aboriginal languages throughout the country. Some parts of Australia continue to speak using these languages.The colonies relied heavily on imports from England for survival. The official currency of the colonies was the British pound, but the unofficial currency and most readily accepted trade good was rum. The early economy relied on barter for exchange, an issue which Lachlan Macquarie (Governor from 1810 to 1821) tried to fix first by introducing Spanish dollars, and then by establishing the Bank of New South Wales with the authority to issue financial instruments. [78] Barter continued, however, until shipments of sterling in the late 1820s enabled a move to a monetary economy. [79] Conway, Jill (1966). "Blaxland, Gregory (1778–1853)".

Reynolds argues that continuous Aboriginal resistance for well over a century belies the myth of peaceful settlement in Australia. Settlers in turn often reacted to Aboriginal resistance with great violence, resulting in numerous massacres by whites of Aboriginal men, women and children [40] including the Pinjarra massacre, the Myall Creek massacre, and the Rufus River massacre.

The 1980s television drama, The Timeless Land, was based on this trilogy. The United Kingdom was Australia’s leading trading partner from colonial times until 1880, when it accounted for 70% of Australia’s imports and 80% of exports (Vamplew 1987). In the twentieth century, Australia was still the primary trading partner of the United Kingdom.Kemp (2018)Bourke found the colony’s development had reached a stage where land grants could be abandoned and Crown land alienated only by sale. Land grants were abandoned in 1831. The first free British emigrants arrive and establish themselves in an area they name Liberty Plains Australia was a continent with no opposition and no land that the British could easily occupy. The remoteness and harshness were exactly what the old country needed when it wanted to export its most troublesome commodities, namely criminals and undesirables. Australia’s position as a penal colony made it an ideal location. The harsh realities of prison life and the settling of conflicts with fists gave prisoners the strength to live their lives. The theft of less than a shilling, for example, may land you in Australia for a first offense. Despite the fact that most crimes today are mild in comparison to previous generations, tough people are still capable of doing so. Originally, the Australian penal colony was conceived as a British colonial establishment. In 1820, British settlement was largely confined to a 100 kilometre radius around Sydney and to the central plain of Van Diemen's land. The settler population was 26,000 on the mainland and 6,000 in Van Diemen's Land. [29] In 1840, the Adelaide City Council and the Sydney City Council were established. Men who possessed 1,000 pounds' worth of property were able to stand for election and wealthy landowners were permitted up to four votes each in elections. Australia's first parliamentary elections were conducted for the New South Wales Legislative Council in 1843, again with voting rights (for males only) tied to property ownership or financial capacity. Voter rights were extended further in New South Wales in 1850 and elections for legislative councils were held in the colonies of Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania. [68]
