Anglo-Australian

Anglo-Celtic Australians, also known as British and Irish Australians, Colonial Stock Australians, or British Australians, and in colonial times as native white Australians, are a predominantly English-speaking ancestral group of Australians whose ancestors originate wholly or partially in the British Isles – predominantly in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, as well as the Isle of Man, Channel Islands and British Isles descendent people of other settler colonies such as New Zealand, Canada, and historically, British Africa. The overwhelming majority of British Australians are descended from convicts and other early colonists: South Australia was the only state that never received convicts while Western Australia received a small number voluntarily later on.
