Humans first inhabited Australia about 50,000 years ago, while the Americas were colonized about 15,000 to 20,000 years ago.Dutch discovery and exploration
The Dutch East India Company ship, Duyfken, captained by Willem Janszoon, made the first documented European landing in Australia in 1606.After Dutch navigators charted the northern, western and southern coasts of Australia during the 17th Century this newly found continent became known as 'New Holland'. It was the English explorer Matthew Flinders who suggested the name we use today.
Who colonized Australia : British
British settlement of Australia began as a penal colony governed by a captain of the Royal Navy. Until the 1850s, when local forces began to be recruited, British regular troops garrisoned the colonies with little local assistance.
Which country is older America or Australia
Australia was populated by humans probably 20,000 years or more before the Americas. As far as we can tell, Australia has the world's oldest extant human culture. As modern nations, Australia became a nation made up of a federation of former British colonies on the first day of the 20th century: 1 January 1901.
Is Australia older than China : Indigenous Australia culture is tens of thousands of years older than many other ancient civilisations that are revered around the world, such as Mesopotamia (dating back as early as 3500 B.C.), Egypt (3100 B.C.), Greece (2700 B.C.), Maya (2600 B.C.) and China (1600 B.C.).
Australia looked very different 65,000 years ago. The continent was larger than it is today. Some land that existed in ancient times is now under the sea. Australia was also joined to other land masses that are now separate islands. Aboriginal people
According to mitochondrial DNA research, Aboriginal people reached Eyre Peninsula (South Australia) 49,000-45,000 years ago from both the east (clockwise, along the coast, from northern Australia) and the west (anti-clockwise). Radiocarbon dating suggests that they lived in and around Sydney for at least 30,000 years.
Who arrived to Australia first
explorer Willem Janszoon
While Indigenous Australians have inhabited the continent for tens of thousands of years, and traded with nearby islanders, the first documented landing on Australia by a European was in 1606. The Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon landed on the western side of Cape York Peninsula and charted about 300 km of coastline.The European exploration of Australia first began in February 1606, when Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon landed in Cape York Peninsula and on October that year when Spanish explorer Luís Vaz de Torres sailed through, and navigated, Torres Strait islands.Australia was a collection of British colonies from 1788 until 1901. The first colonies were established as places where criminals were sent to live and work. These were known as convict settlements or penal colonies. Later, colonies were established by free settlers.

What is the number 1 oldest country : Egypt
Egypt. Egypt is the oldest country in the world if we accept its founding as 3150 B.C.E. That's the estimated beginning of the reign of Narmer, the first king of the first dynasty of Egypt, and the end of the period considered predynastic or ancient Egypt. The Narmer Palette (circa 3200-3000 B.C.E.)
Is USA the oldest country : Ironically, this shifts the establishment of the US to 1787, when the constitution was ratified. Nevertheless, this definition places the US as the fifth oldest nation in the world, after the Vatican (1274), San Marino (1600), Morocco (1631), and Oman (1749).

Egypt
1. Egypt. Egypt is the oldest country in the world if we accept its founding as 3150 B.C.E. That's the estimated beginning of the reign of Narmer, the first king of the first dynasty of Egypt, and the end of the period considered predynastic or ancient Egypt. The first humans arrived in Tasmania around 40,000 years ago. About 30,000 years ago an ice age began, which caused sea levels to drop about 120 metres and created a continuous land mass that stretched between Papua New Guinea and Tasmania.The early occupation of Australia
Molecular clock estimates, genetic studies and archaeological data all suggest the initial settlement of Sahul and Australia by modern humans occurred around 48,000–50,000 years ago.
What did Australia look like 20,000 years ago : 20,000 years ago, the world was starting to emerge from the most recent ice age. The sea level around the Australian coast was then about 120 meters lower than it is today. The coastal mountain ranges we see today in north-eastern Australia were further inland.
