The British colonisation of Australia began in 1787 and waves of multi-ethnic, primarily Anglo-Celtic, migration followed shortly thereafter. Several states and territories had their origins as penal colonies, with this convict heritage having an enduring effect on Australian music, cinema and literat…

Irish Australians (Irish: Gael-Astrálaigh) are ‌‍‍‍‍residents of Australia who are either fully or partially of Irish descent.
