EXCELLENCY OF AUSTRALIA
The Commonwealth of Australia is a country in the southern
hemisphere comprising the mainland of the world's smallest
continent, the major island of Tasmania and a number of other
islands in the Indian, Pacific and Southern Oceans. The
neighbouring countries are Indonesia, East Timor and Papua New
Guinea to the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New
Caledonia to the north-east, and New Zealand to the south-east.
The Australian mainland has been inhabited for more than 42,000
years by Indigenous Australians. After sporadic visits by fishermen
from the north and by European explorers and merchants starting in
the 17th century, the eastern half of Australia was claimed by the
British in 1770 and initially settled through penal transportation as
part of the colony of New South Wales, commencing on 26 January
1788. As the population grew and new areas were explored,
another five largely self-governing Crown Colonies were
established during the 19th century.
On 1 January 1901, the six colonies became a federation, and the
Commonwealth of Australia was formed. Since federation, Australia
has maintained a stable liberal democratic political system and
remains a Commonwealth Realm. The capital city is Canberra,
located in the Australian Capital Territory. The population is 21
million, and is concentrated in the mainland state capitals of
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide.
The name "Australia" is derived from the Latin Australis, meaning
"Southern". Legends of an "unknown land of the south" (terra
australis incognita) dating back to Roman times were
commonplace in mediæval geography, but were based on no actual
knowledge of the continent. The first use of the word "Australia" in
English was in 1625 — the words "A note of Australia del Espiritu
Santo, written by Master Hakluyt", published by Samuel Purchas in
Hakluytus Posthumus. The Dutch adjectival form Australische was
used by Dutch officials in Batavia to refer to the newly discovered
land to the south in 1638. "Australia" was used in a 1693 translation
of Les Aventures de Jacques Sadeur dans la Découverte et le
Voyage de la Terre Australe, a 1692 French novel by Gabriel de
Foigny under the pen name Jacques Sadeur. Alexander Dalrymple
then used it in An Historical Collection of Voyages and Discoveries
in the South Pacific Ocean (1771), to refer to the entire South
Pacific region. In 1793, George Shaw and Sir James Smith
published Zoology and Botany of New Holland, in which they wrote
of "the vast island, or rather continent, of Australia, Australasia or
New Holland."
The name "Australia" was popularised by the 1814 work A Voyage
to Terra Australis by the navigator Matthew Flinders, the first
recorded person to circumnavigate Australia. Despite its title, which
reflected the view of the British Admiralty, Flinders used the word
"Australia" in the book, which was widely read and gave the term
general currency. Governor Lachlan Macquarie of New South Wales
subsequently used the word in his dispatches to England, and on 12
December 1817 recommended to the Colonial Office that it be
officially adopted). In 1824, the Admiralty agreed that the continent
should be known officially as "Australia".
