Summary

From the very beginning of Australia’s European life, migration has been a major force. In the first place it has been vital to development and growth, quite as vital as the inflow of capital and organization. Over the period 1788–1971 and excluding the Aborigines, the Australian population grew from nil to 12 640 000, 35 per cent by net migration and 65 per cent by natural increase, much of this last being due to new immigrants having children after arrival in Australia. This immigration has not been uniformly steady or invariably popular.
