This does show that the recent prime period of the British migration to Australia really got going in 2003, peaking in 2006-07, but dropping down a bit in 2009.
The first 8 months of 2010 totalled 9,010, which would be 13,515 if annualised. Â This would be a drop back down to normal for the last 20 years.
Edit: 2010 figures now added:
| Year | From UK | UK % of all | All Settlers |
| 2009 | 17,950 | 12.09% | 148,410 |
| 2010 | 12,860 | 9.94% | 129,410 |
From 1991 to 2009, the average annual intake of Migrants from the UK has been 14,120, according to the above figures.
