Is there any evidence that British people settled in Australia?

Yes. They settled in it, colonised it, developed it, populated it (in addition to the existing Indigenous populations and immigrants from other places), ruled it, controlled it, taxed it, traded with it and made laws about it for over 150 years. The British Monarch is still the Queen of Australia. All the capital cities of Australia (save Canberra) are developed from original British settlements. The national language of Australia is English, and the Union Jack is on the Australian flag.
All in all, I would say that that is sufficient evidence that British people probably did settle in Australia.

The British settlement was the first officialEuropean settlement in Australia.
However, there is also some evidence which indicates that the first Europeans to settle in Australia were survivors of Dutch shipwrecks off the western coast of Australia from the early 1600s through to about the early 1700s.
