Best Answer

The first British settlement in Australia was where Sydney, New South Wales, now stands. Shortly after this, another settlement was established to the north, at Newcastle, thanks to the discovery of coal, whilst in Van Diemen's land (Tasmania) to the south, another settlement was established on the Derwent River.

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.
