Australia was the only one of Great Britain's colonies to be established by a mix of convicts, marines and officers. While convicts were sent to other colonies, such as North Anerica and parts of he West Indies, they were not the ones who founded these colonies.

Also, Australia was the only entire continent to be eventually colonised by the British Empire, even though this colonisation took place over a period of five decades. No other country claimed any part of the continent (although the French did state they made a formal claim in the west, the evidence of which was never found).
