Cartier named the land he discovered "New France" in honor of King Francis I of France, who sponsored his exploration of the region in the early 16th century. The term "New France" was a way to claim the territory for the French crown and establish French presence in the New World.

Yes, Jacques Cartier claimed land in Canada for France during his explorations in the early 16th century. He established French interests in the region that would later become New France.
The French almost made several claims to Australia, and there is still some dispute as to whether the French in fact made the first claim to Western Australia (then New Holland) in 1772. Possible the main reason why the French didn't settle in Australia was due to the efforts of a man named Charles Robbins. The British wanted to make a formal claim upon Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) before the French claimed it, so in November 1802, Governor John King sent Charles Robbins, first mate of HMS Buffalo, to the island for the sole purpose of dissuading a French claim. French commodore Nicholas Baudin had already indicated he planned to claim and colonise Van Diemen's Land. Robbins met Baudin in Van Diemen's Land and successfully persuaded Baudin to abandon his plans to claim the island. Shortly after this, British troops landed on King Island in Bass Strait, giving further credence to the British claim.
