The original group of people living in Australia was known as the Aborigines. The British Empire claimed Australia around the same time the United States claimed independence. The discovery of gold in the early 1950s started a gold rush that movement of people to Australia. In 1901 the Commonwealth of Australia was formed and made it an independent Country.
