Where did William Dampier explore in Australia?
William Dampier was not the first European to explore Australia, but he was the first Englishman to explore any part of the continent.Dutch explorer Willem Jansz was the first recorded European to explore Australia when he came ashore at the Pennefather River on the western shore of Cape York Peninsula in 1606. Jansz met with hostile Aborigines, and lost ten of his crew men, but still managed to chart 320 km of the shoreline.However, Jansz believed his landing point was part of New Guinea, and Dutch maps reflected this error for many years.
