11. Did the British help Australia or hurt it? I think that the British did more to help Australia because the British convicts build many important buildings. They also helped Australia by sending food on ships. However, the British also hurt Australia because it send lots of convicts there. This meant that the numbers of aborigines went down, because they were killed by the convicts. Also when the rats hitched a ride on a boat to Australia they killed all of the seabirds, which upset the Australians. Home
