How many years of exploration did William Dampier have to find Australia?
William Dampier never set out to find Australia. This was not his aim. He was an experienced sea captain, pirate and trader. Many Dutch explorers had already landed on Western Australia's shores, so Dampier was not seeking to find a continent that had already been discovered. It just so happened that, in January 1688, Dampier's ship "Cygnet" was beached on the northwestern coast of Australia. It is not known exactly how many years Dampier was sailing before he first landed in Australia, at the age of 36. However, it is known that, because he lost his parents when he was very young, he was apprenticed to a shipmaster at age 7. he began sailing from a very young age.

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.
