Why is Australia so close to Southeast Asia that it finally becomes a country with a majority of whites?

Australia is an immigrant country, and its aborigines come from Southeast Asia and South America. However, due to the low level of productivity in ancient times, Australia was not suitable for human habitation, resulting in fewer and fewer aborigines. Later, the navigation technology was developed. After European countries discovered this continent, a large number of white people immigrated to Australia in Europe and eventually became a country with a majority of white people.

According to the census data of 200 1, the total number of Australian aborigines is 4 1.3 million, accounting for 2.3% of the total population. Because Australia is close to Southeast Asia, the earliest Southeast Asians came to Australia because of the Ice Age, and later the Mayans and Aztecs in Central and South America also came here. These people became the original residents of Australia.

However, the aborigines in Australia did not grow up later, because most parts of Australia have tropical grassland climate, tropical desert climate and subtropical grassland climate, and many areas are not suitable for crop growth. Those Southeast Asians first arrived in the savanna areas of northern and northwestern Australia, which were desolate and unsuitable for human survival.

There are many kangaroos and koalas in Australia, but these animals cannot be domesticated by humans, and there are no plants for farming, so there is a shortage of food. These factors have restricted the population growth of indigenous people, and also caused other Southeast Asians to be unwilling to immigrate to Australia.

Later, with the development of European navigation technology, European navigators discovered this new continent, but because they came from the sea, they went to the south and southeast of Australia. Compared with the north and northwest of the aborigines, these areas are agricultural areas with rich food sources, so the proportion of those whites in Australia is increasing.
