The Portuguese were believed to be the first Europeans to discover Australia, but as there are no records remaining in Portugal to substantiate their claim, it is unknown why or how they may have discovered the continent.
The Dutch were active traders between Europe and Asia, and they came across Australia whilst seeking out new possibilities for trade. Willem Jansz/Janszoon was the first to step foot on Australia's shores. He was a Dutchman who was seeking new trade routes and trade associates. Commanding the Duyfken, he became the first recorded European to step foot on Australia's shores on the western shore of Cape York Peninsula, doing so in 1606.
