At the beginning of the 19 century free settlers began to arrive from Britain in large numbers. The south and east were settled before the north and the west because of tropical conditions and these areas remained unpopulated for a long time. As the colonies along the south and east coast developed, they refused to receive any more convicts. From the middle of the 19th century no convicts were brought from Britain to Australia. Wildlife Australia is the only continent on earth where marsupials live; they are also known as pouched mammals and egg-lying mammals. Ordinary mammals live also in Australia and these mammals are mostly imported there. Marsupials are kangaroos, wombats, koalas, Tasmanian wolves and Tasmanian devils. Their cubs are born before they are fully developed. Today marsupials are dying out, cause cats and dogs and rabbits, who were exported to Australia many, many years ago, are destroying the gentler marsupials. There is only one
