South Australia and Western Australia were the two Austalian colonies to be settled by free settlers alone, with no convict presence. Only South Australia, however, remained convict-free, as Western Australia campaigned to have convicts to use as free labour about fifteen years after the initial settlement.
Australia was first settled on 26 January 1788, 18 years after James Cook had claimed the east coast for England, under the name of New South Wales.

All of the states in Australia are first settled by English settlers in one form or another - either as convicts, military or free settlers. New South Wales was the first state to be settled.
The oldest evidence of ancient aboriginal settlement in Australia has been found in Tasmania, which is in the south. From this, it can be assumed that the Aborigines first settled in the south.
The South Australian Colonisation Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1834, and the first settlers arrived in 1836.
Australia was settled for a number of reasons, but the primary reason was that it was settled as a convict outpost for Britain's excess convicts. The first European settlers in Australia were mainly convicts from England, together with the officers and the marines who guarded them. They arrived on the First Fleet, a fleet of eleven ships. Australia was first settled on 26 January 1788, 18 years after James Cook had claimed the east coast for England, under the name of New South Wales.
No particular person or authority divided Australia up into states. The states developed from colonies, and the colonies developed as parts of the continent were settled. The first colony was New South Wales, but when the British settled in the south and the west, the colonies of South Australia and Swan River (later Western Australia) were established. Van Diemen's land (now Tasmania) was settled originally as part of New South Wales, but was given its own colonial administration. Similarly, Victoria and Queensland began as New South Wales, but boundaries were established to divide them separately once the need arose. The six colonies federated as the nation of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901.
Britain colonised Australia.
It was settled in 1670
Almost all of Australia's six colonies were settled by convicts. New South Wales, Tasmania, Queensland and Victoria all began with convict settlements (although the Victorian one did not succeed). Western Australia started as a free settlement but convicts arrived some 15 years after initial settlement. Only South Australia never had a penal colony.

The country of Australia was originally settled as a prison colony of Britain. One of the largest prisons was in New South Wales. Male convicts there would be put to work during their time in prison.
It probably stems from the fact South Australia was the only colony to be settled as a free colony, not as a place to house convicts, as such the people of SA were generally of a higher class and more concerned with these sorts of issues.
The Australian aboriginal people were the first to settle in Australia. Humans originated in Africa and from there migrated to other areas, which was a slow process. South America, the Pacific Islands and Australia were settled quite recently.
