Which part of New York City was called broken land by the Dutch?
Brooklyn. The Dutch (who were the first Europeans to settle New York City) named it "Breukelen," which means "broken land." They named it Breukelen after a municipality in the province of Utrecht, in their homeland of the Netherlands (there is a New Utrecht Avenue in Brooklyn, too). Eventually, the name evolved from "Breukelen" to "Brooklyn."
Why didn't Holland settle Australia?
The Dutch explorers tended to land on Australia's Western coast, which was not as fertile as the east. (When the first Dutch explorer, Willem Jansz, landed in the north, in 1606, he thought the land was part of New Guinea.) Consequently, they saw the continent of Australia at its worst. The Dutch saw no value in the flat, featureless land they encountered, and no potential for resources or economic gain. Unlike the British, they did not need a port in the South Pacific because they already had Jakarta.
