Technically speaking, no. The indigenous Australian people (what most people call Aborigines) have lived here for roughly 40,000 years
White colonisation, yes. The "First Fleet" was the group of ships that arrived in AU in 1788, consisting of mostly convicts from the UK, along with loads of officers, etc. They established a penal colony in Sydney, and things grew from there.
We always kind of lol at the English sending their prisoners to a land of gorgeous beaches, warm weather, and then teaching us to play cricket and rugby
