The History of Australia
Their were many people who discovered Australia, and many that named it. It took a while to name this Beautiful land. But then a man named Matthew Flinders gave the name "Terra Australis" but then renamed it to Australia. Australia has many secrets that still aren't solved. The first to live in Australia were the Aboriginals, we also call them the Black Men. But as their culture grew, Captain Cook was sailing to the new native land that was across the Equator. The captain and his crew had poor prisoners in the bottom deck, transporting them to the new world for a new life. When they got there, they started to set camp. Their time there went well, until the Aborigines got angry and made WAR!
