European Colonists
The main reason the British continued to establish colonies in Australia over a decade after the First Fleet landed was to consolidate the British claim to the entire continent. Colonies were established in Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania), South Australia and Western Australia to prevent the French from making a claim.
Australia does not own any part of Antarctica. No other country owns any part of Antarctica. However, Australia does have a claim on 42% of the Antarctic, which was transferred to Australia in 1935.

Terra Nullius means "land that belongs to no-one". This doctrine applied to Australia in 1788 when the British did not recognise that the indigenous people of Australia were the rightful "owners" of the land. Because the Aborigines were seen as little more than black savages, the British considered that Australia belonged to no-one and that it was within their right to claim the land as their own, and to do with it (and its people) whatever they wished. The British sought to expand their empire, and so they applied the doctrine of 'terra nullius' to Australia as that gave them the right to claim and occupy the continent.
