Abstract
Historical and economic studies are important topics that require a scientific vision capable of examining and investigating historical events. Australia is a recent social and economic transformation, despite its ancient discovery, but it emerged as a continent with economic content in the mid-nineteenth century. Australia constituted an important topic as it is a newly settled continent. By following the axes of the topic, it became clear to us that Australia can be studied from a unique economic perspective, as it formed in its geographical nature and the resources it contains a target for other discoveries within the rich minerals. The social diversity that overwhelmed its population was not the result of European migrations that preceded the discovery of gold, but rather a diversification process prior to that century. When following its human races, we found that it is a mixture of various survivals of the earth, and this is evidence of its natural richness that contributed to those migrations being directed towards it.

Arafura Sea: It is a sea located in the western Pacific Ocean covering the continental shelf between Australia and Indonesia. Its length is 1290 km and its maximum width reaches about (560) km. Its depth ranges between 50-80 m. It is bordered to the east by the Coral Sea, to the west by the Timor Sea, to the north by the country of Indonesia, and to the south by the country of Australia.

Timor Sea: It takes the shape of an arm of the Indian Ocean, located between the islands of Rote and Timor, subject to the sovereignty of Indonesia, Australia and East Timor, its length is 480 km: for more details see:

Torres Strait: It is a waterway located between Australia and the island of New Guinea near the mainland of Malaysia and its width is (150) km at its narrowest. The strait connects the Coral Sea in the east and the Arafura Sea in the west. Although it is an important sea lane, it is very shallow, and its maze of reefs and islands can make it dangerous to navigate. For more, see: =

Coral Sea: Also called the Coral Sea, it is located in the western Pacific Ocean, off the northeastern coast of Australia. It forms, along with the Arafura, Timor, Tanzania and Banda Seas, the group of seas surrounding Australia. The area of these seas is (3.518) million square kilometers. The salinity of this sea ranges from (30% to 35%), which is the appropriate percentage for coral life. The sea contains many islands and coral reefs, in addition to the largest coral system in the world, the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1981. All previous oil exploration projects in the GBR were terminated in 1975, and fishing is restricted in many areas. The coral reefs and islands in the Coral Sea are particularly rich in birds and aquatic life and are a popular tourist destination both nationally and internationally. For more details see:

Thomastown Suburb: Thomastown came into existence in 1848, when the John Honniball Thomas family purchased 106 acres of land north of Melbourne for horticulture. Two years later, William Westgarth purchased land north of the Thomas estate, making way for German settlers. The Thomastown Post Office opened on 9 June 1862. Thomastown attracted many farmers and horse racing. In 1889, the Epping Railway opened and milk production and distribution grew when a German dairy family founded the Burra Dairy Company, eventually expanding to Preston and becoming the Metropolitan Dairy Company Ltd. A housing co-operative was formed 2 km north in the suburb of Lalor. Residential development soon began in Thomastown. While German settlers already called the area home, more settlers moved in, mostly Italians, Macedonians and Greeks. See more:

This famine occurred as a result of the long frost that struck Ireland for two consecutive years, which destroyed agricultural lands, killed livestock, and forced the emigration of many villages and agricultural lands. Barclay estimated that the nation did not compensate for this loss until a century later, and the church favored early marriage and births, which the famine had taken away.
