How did we help populate more like why. Like why did we help populate Australia? During or after the Revolutionary war? I can't figur it out. I mean I dont know why?

To help populate Australia with useful white people from the U.K.and develope a strong colony at the time , some jail birds were forced to settle there.

Because of the Revolutionary War the British were no longer able to send convicts to America... Well not as many anyway - they kept the biggest single bit - Canada...
But back on to subject ;)
This meant Britain decided to make a new colony in Port Jackson (Sydney) to send convicts to. This became the first permanent settlement of non-indigenous people in Australia.-Also later on (almost 100 years!)many Americans went to Australia and settled when gold was discovered.

We didn't. Australia was a British colony.
