Dirk Hartog did so much find Australia as bump into it. He found part of the west coast of Australia, but was not impressed with what he found and moved on. He left a plate with an inscription dated 1616.

In 1616, Dutch sea-captain Dirk Hartog sailed too far whilst trying out Henderik Brouwer's recently discovered route from the Cape of Good Hope to Batavia, via the Roaring Forties. Reaching the western coast of Australia, he landed at Cape Inscription on 25 October 1616.
