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.

How did Hudson help the british empire?

Henry Hudson, an English explorer, significantly contributed to the British Empire by discovering and mapping parts of North America, particularly the Hudson River and Hudson Bay. His explorations in the early 17th century facilitated the expansion of British claims in the region, leading to increased trade opportunities, particularly in fur. Hudson's voyages also laid the groundwork for future British settlements and economic ventures in North America. His discoveries ultimately aided in establishing British dominance in the fur trade, which became a vital part of the empire's wealth.
