BritishAustralian

British Australians are Australian citizens of British descent. This group encompasses individuals whose ancestry originates from England, Scotland, Wales, and sometimes, though less commonly, Gibraltar. The historical ties between Britain and Australia are deep-rooted, stemming from British colonisation in the late 18th century. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, significant migration from Britain to Australia continued, making people of British origin the largest single ancestral group in Australia.

The cultural impact of British migration is evident in many aspects of Australian society, including its legal system, parliamentary democracy, language, and many social customs. While Australia has developed its own distinct national identity, the British heritage remains a foundational element for a substantial portion of its population. Many British Australians maintain connections to their ancestral homeland through family ties and cultural traditions. The term "British Australian" is primarily descriptive of ancestry and does not imply a unified political or social bloc, as individuals within this group hold diverse views and experiences. The vast majority of British Australians are fully integrated into contemporary Australian society.
