It probably isn't a question of Britain "gaining control" of Australia so much as it was that England just put a bunch of people on ships and set them ashore on the land down under. That made Australia a de facto British colony. The native Australians didn't complain too much, and certainly hadn't the numbers or the power to stop things, even if they did. This happened before, this colonization. What's a good example of that? Big country. Lots of room to develop. Stunning store of Natural Resources. Oh, yes! America!
By taking control of Egypt Britain added to their armies during war time making them harder to defeat. It also gave Britain control over Nile trade routes which opened up trade for more countries.

Britain hoped to gain several advantages from the new colony in New South Wales. 1. Britain hoped to expand the British empire, and prevent the French from gaining a foothold in the Australian continent or in that part of the Pacific. 2. It hoped to solve the problem of Britain's overcrowded prisons (a consequence of the Industrial Revolution) by establishing a new penal colony in a land which showed promise for eventually becoming self-supporting. 3. Australia could provide commercial gains to Britain, as British hoped to utilise Australia's natural resources. 4. Due to war, Britain needed to find an alternative supply of Flax and timber as her Baltic supply was under threat. It was believed that nearby Norfolk Island would provide this. 5. Britain needed a port in the East to promote trade with China and to extend its naval and commercial power.
Britain began smuggling illegal drugs into China.
