That is true, but the vast majority of Australians were later, or like myself (2001) very recent arrivals.
I have family in the State of Victoria - 4th generation...Also there were plenty of people that went over in the early days...a middle class person could buy a lot of land and have "free" labour...they were like royalty over there..Then much later in the 1950s, the UK practically gave free passage to those that wanted to go...a quick check of the family tree was all that was needed (no blacks or asians and you were fine!)...
And yes, most people know that the British also used Australia as a convenient place for permanent storage of unwanted children.
Not quite true, there were plenty that were wanted (those found after the blitz) who were shipped over for convenience and those that were in temporary care in the early days...You really do need to learn a bit before you speak on such matters...
Your modern day bible bashers would make the calvinists look like wh*res and devils in comparison :D You might want to look at the surnames of the founders of the religion...they were not English ;0)
Along with Martin Bucer, Heinrich Bullinger, Peter Martyr Vermigli, and Ulrich Zwingli
Calvin was a French exile in Geneva (not English!)

Why get irritated with the comments, you're not even Austrailian...
