While Indigenous Australians have inhabited the continent for tens of thousands of years, and traded with nearby islanders, the first documented landing on Australia by a European was in 1606. The Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon landed on the western side of Cape York Peninsula and charted about 300 km of coastline.Matthew Flinders
Matthew Flinders (1774-1814) proved that Tasmania was an island and produced its first map. He traced the coasts of the Australian continent, proving that the east, New South Wales, was the same land mass as the west, New Holland. He produced the first complete map of Australia.New Holland
Until the early 19th century, Australia was best known as New Holland, a name first applied by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1644 (as Nieuw-Holland) and subsequently anglicised. Terra Australis still saw occasional usage, such as in scientific texts.
What happened in Australia between 1770 and 1788 : In 1770, Lieutenant James Cook charted the east coast of Australia and claimed it for Great Britain. He returned to London with accounts favouring colonisation at Botany Bay (now in Sydney). The First Fleet of British ships arrived at Botany Bay in January 1788 to establish a penal colony.
Did the Dutch colonize Australia
Between 1606 and 1642, the Dutch charted most of the continent's northern, western and southern coasts. The Netherlands did not colonise Australia, but Dutch people in small numbers were present from 1788 onwards.
Why didn’t the Dutch colonize Australia : Twenty-nine other Dutch navigators explored the western and southern coasts in the 17th century, and dubbed the continent New Holland. Most of the explorers of this period concluded that the apparent lack of water and fertile soil made the region unsuitable for colonisation.
Main content. Abstract: A map of Australia by Louis de Freycinet, published in 1811, is widely considered to be the first full map of Australia. The map was an outcome of the French scientific expedition from 1800-1804 led by Nicolas Baudin, an expedition with grand aspirations. Dutch explorers
One of these mariners, Willem Janszoon, made the first recorded European contact with Australia.
Who discovered Australia in 1700
While the actual date of original exploration in Australia is unknown, there is evidence of exploration by William Dampier in 1699, and the First Fleet arrived in 1788, eighteen years after Lt. James Cook surveyed and mapped the entire east coast aboard HM Bark Endeavour in 1770.Initial invasion and colonisation (1788 to 1890) The arrival of Lieutenant James Cook, and then Arthur Phillip in 1788, marked the beginning of 'white settlement'. From 1788, Australia was treated by the British as a colony of settlement, not of conquest.But, the Dutch had first touched the west coast of Australia in 1616. British explorer and privateer, William Dampier, spent 3 months on the west coast in 1688, 80 years before Captain Cook discovered the east coast. Dampier, like the Dutch before him, judged that barren coastline to be unsuitable for settlement. The answer is already given. The Dutch knew about Australia, but the areas they encountered were mostly arid and unsuitable for occupation. They did manage to give Australia some names though.
When did the Dutch arrive in Australia : 1606
Dutch sailors were amongst the first Europeans to reach Australia. In 1606 the Duyfken became the first ship to chart part of Australia's coastline, and other Dutch explorers soon followed. In the early 19th century a few Netherlands-born convicts were transported to Australia.
Who inhabited Australia first : Australia is made up of many different and distinct Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups, each with their own culture, language, beliefs and practices. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are the first peoples of Australia, meaning they were here for thousands of years prior to colonisation.

What is the oldest race on Earth : A new genomic study has revealed that Aboriginal Australians are the oldest known civilization on Earth, with ancestries stretching back roughly 75,000 years.
