Early European explorers in Australia history

From this video you will find who were the first Europeans to discover Australia, how long it took to explore each shore of the new continent, and how the British managed to be the first to establish a colony here. The first Europeans to set foot on Australian soil were the Dutch, who arrived in the early 17th century. They named the land "New Holland" and mapped parts of its western and northern coasts. The most famous Dutch explorers were Willem Janszoon, Frederik de Houtman, Jan Carstenszoon, and Abel Tasman.

However, it wasn't until 1770 that the British navigator Captain James Cook landed on the eastern coast of Australia, which he claimed for Britain and named "New South Wales". The first fleet of British settlers arrived in 1788, led by Governor Arthur Phillip. These first settlers faced many challenges, including harsh weather conditions, unfamiliar terrain, and conflicts with the Indigenous population. However, they persevered and laid the foundations for the Australia we know today.

Hartog Plate or Dirk Hartog's Plate is either of two pewter plates, although primarily the first, which were left on Dirk Hartog Island during a period of European exploration of the western coast of Australia prior to European settlement there. The first plate, left in 1616 by Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog, is the oldest-known artifact of European exploration in Australia still in existence.
