Nope, at least I don't think so. We just took them over later and flooded them with undesirables. Who later set up sports teams to get their own back.
Australia at least was first discovered by accident. There was a mutiny on a boat and some of the crew in the losing side were cast adrift. It is reported that they bumped into australia a few days later but died pretty quickly (its not the most forgiving scenery in the world...). Thats the theory anyway.
