It's kind of weird that Oz' Olympic debut was in 1896 though, as Australia didn't really exist back then

In comparison to the native populations of other areas, particularly in other parts of Asia and the Americas, the Aboriginal population wasn't that developed, primarily due to the geography which really only suited hunter-gatherer cultures and a near-complete lack of contact with other cultures. The indigenous population was splintered into hundreds of different nomadic tribes with no clear leader or organised structure.
If you believe that's heaven, by all means, believe it. While the British, and by extension, early Australian governments didn't have the absolute nicest policies, I don't think you can argue with the fact that the negatives are outweighed heavily by the positives of European settlement.
