because it is an island australia is
surrounded by water the pacific and
indian oceans to be exact the island
countries that are nearest to australia

solomon islands and papua new guinea the
first people to live on the continent
were the aboriginal and torres strait
islander peoples who arrived from the
indonesian islands around
60 000 years before the arrival of
british settlers in 1776
