Correction Assignment
50,000 years ago the Aborigines arrived in Australia. In 1788, James Cook, Captain of the Endeavour discovered Australia which started the colonisation of the country by the British. They transformed the country into a penal colony and sent prisoners (convicts) there. Usually, convicts were freed after 7 years but if they behaved well, they could be freed after 4. They built roads and helped people settle there. A lot of Australians today are descendants of convicts.
