The main explorer credited with charting the South Australian coastline and seeing its potential for settlement was Matthew Flinders, in 1802. 27 years later Charles Sturt's expedition down the Murray River had a significant impact on the future settlement of South Australia as it opened up Australia's inland waterways to the transportation of people and goods, and found a route to he southern coast. England had been seeking a site to establish a settlement on the southern coast, and Sturt's expedition pointed the way for this.
The South Australian Colonisation Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1834, and the first settlers arrived in 1836. South Australia is the only state in Australia not to have had convicts. Governor John Hindmarsh arrived in the new colony on the HMS Buffalo, accompanied only by free settlers. South Australia was officially proclaimed on 19 February 1836 in England. The Old Gum Tree at Glenelg North, South Australia, was where the Proclamation was read by Governor Hindmarsh on 28 December 1836.
Edmund Lockyer was the one who led an expedition to formally claim Western Australia for Britain in 1826 (it had been claimed as British possession in 1791, by George Vancouver). He established a military base at King Georges Sound which originally bore the name of Frederick's Town: it was later renamed Albany. Thus, Albany was the site of the first European settlement in Western Australia.
In 1829, Captain Charles Fremantle was sent to take formal possession of the remainder of New Holland which had not already been claimed for Britain under the territory of New South Wales. This was so that the French could not make a claim on the land.
On 2 May 1829, Captain Fremantle raised the Union Jack on the south head of the Swan River, thus claiming the territory for Britain. The colony of Western Australia was proclaimed on 8 June 1829, and two months later, Perth was also founded.

Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia, and the city was designed by Colonel William Light, the first Surveyor-General of South Australia, who arrived in South Australia in 1836 to decide on a suitable site for the new settlement. He completed his survey in March 1837.

This is certainly untrue. There are so many things wrong with the question it is hard to know what to say--- 1) "White" people never settled Los Angeles. It was settled by the Spanish centuries before Europeans got there in significant numbers. 2) Aren't European Spanish "White"? They certainly think so. 3) All across the South and Southwest there are cities and towns where "White" people have not YET settled. So what do you mean?
