The First Fleet of convicts to Australia departed England in May 1787, and arrived in New South Wales in January 1788.
The convicts who landed on the shores of Australia originally came from England. Later fleets included Irish, Scottish and Welsh, but the majority were English. The Irish who came were often political convicts, sent for their rebellion against England.

Great Britain originally colonised Australia with convicts. Thus, Australia was founded by convicts, marines and officers from England.
Some convicts did return to England after serving their sentence, while others chose to stay in the colony where they had been imprisoned. Factors that influenced this decision included family ties, job opportunities, and personal circumstances.
