The question as it stands cannot be answered. No Englishman discovered Australia and befriended Bennelong, an Aboriginal man of the Eora tribe. Australia was discovered by the Dutch, around 80 years before the first Englishman set foot on the continent. This first Emglishman was William Dampier, who landed in Austalia's northwest in 1688, long after the first recorded Dutch landing in 1606. Dampier was not even remotely interested in communicating with the aboriginal people. Almost a century later, in 1770, James Cook became the first Englishman to sight the eastern coast of Australia, but he did not befriend any Aborigines either. It has Captain Arthur Philip, who led the First Fleet to Australia in 1788, who befriended Bennelong.

He was captured on 25 November 1789, for the purpose of being used as a mediary between the white and Aboriginal cultures. Captain Arthur Phillip, wanted to learn about the language and customs of the indigenous people. Bennelong willingly liaised between the cultures, and adopted European dress and other ways. Bennelong travelled with Phillip to England in 1792, and returned to Australia in 1795. However, he was ostracised from his own people, the Aborigines, when he found it too difficult to integrate into the European culture, and tried to return to his own people. He died on 3 January 1813.
