Go to the ABS main site and do a search...they have data going back to the first census, you just have to look....

all i see are paragraphs... i need actual facts and figures but there seems to be none of that... not of the early 19th century anyway... and like Tenille said.. Australia wasn't technically a country till 1901... so would there be a census of AUSTRALIA before then?? =/
man...no offense
but do a search..... Its not going to jump out at you....
http://abs.gov.au/ there is a search function on the bottom of the page....
As the piece of info I found for you states, they were doing "musters" or census as far back as 1788 but the first major one was in 1828. The ABS does have these details but *YOU* have to find them on the ABS website.
Alternatively, use some lateral thinking and visit the various denoiminations websites and see when they came out to Australia. Despite what Tenille said, Australia not being a "country" has
nothing to do with a religious snapshot of Australia back when ever.....
or just use google.com.au and select various keywords...again, I tried using 3 or 4 different search terms and came up with heaps of info...
*thinks* some people just dont know how to research.... *storms off*
go here ...and dont say Im not helpful...
