The British colonisation of Australia began in 1788, and the British brought their own language, English, and their own religion, Christianity, with them. English quickly became the dominant language of Australia, and Christianity became the dominant religion.
The British also introduced a number of other cultural practices to Australia, such as the Westminster system of government, the common law system, and the game of cricket. These practices have all become an integral part of Australian culture.
The impact of British culture on Australia is still evident today. English is still the official language of Australia, and Christianity is still the dominant religion. Many Australian laws and institutions are based on British models, and many Australian cultural practices have their origins in Britain.
