In 1606, a Spanish sailor, Luis Vaez de Torres, discovered Australia and told people in Europe about this new country. At that time, no European knew about Australia. During the 17th century٫ more sailors visited the new country, but no one stayed long. An Englishman, James Cook, went there in 1770 and spent some time in Botany Bay. He and his men met the Australian people and learnt their Language. A small number of English people went to live in Australia and most of them became farmers. In 1820, the European population was only 34,000, but it grew very quickly. In 1850, there were 405,000 Europeans in Australia. Most people lived on farms and sold wool and meat from their sheep. In 1851, a farmer found gold, and many people travelled from England to look for gold. Between 1850 and 1860٫ more than­ 500,000 people moved to Australia and by 1860, the population was more than a million. Why did they move from England?
