Well "when they learned" what the British were up too, Washington spread his 20,000 troops along the NY harbor. Once General Howe of the British decided he had enough soldiers they attacked. In probably the largest battle in the Revolutionary War, The British drove the Americans back. As it is considered by many military historians to be one of his most impressive actions as Commander in Chief, Washington personally directed the withdrawal of his entire remaining army and all their supplies across the East river in one night without discovery by the British. He covered wagon and artillery wheels with rags, so not to make noise that British scouts would hear. He did not lose a man or camp follower in the withdrawal either.
He rode through the countryside when he learned that the British were planning to invade to warn the people.

The British didn't have to invade New York because they were all ready there. They did bring in more troops that added up to over 60,000 in anticipation of a battle. British prison ships were all ready anchored off New York and conditions were so bad that many American men died on them to be buried in mass graves on the coast.
The Aboriginal people never did invade Australia, The British people did. Aboriginal people roamed Australia long before the British/white people did. (:
