Its Australia Day!

[cam elle toe]

give us a history lesson, who founded the country and in what year? is there any landmark to show this?

hmm...the "official" discoverer was Capt James Cook. He landed at Botany Bay in 1770 I believe..(not googling) and yes there is a landmark.

Australia was founded by convicts and the United States was founded by puritans. Australia got the better deal.

Surely the aboriginals found Australia before Cook.

Found it? They probably sprang up from the primordial ooze of Oz.
