Abel Tasman did not discover Australia. Abel Tasman only discovered the island that he named Van Diemen's land (now the state of Tasmania) in 1642. The first known European to discover Australia was Willem Jansz, who landed on the shores of Cape York Peninsula in 1606.
He mapped the north coast of Australia.

The Tasman Sea. It is named for Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer.
The Tasman Sea named for Dutch explorer Abel Tasman.
After one of his crewmen saw what looked like tiger tracks on sand when they came ashore, Abel Tasman believed that tigers lived there. These tracks were the tracks of a Thylacine, often incorrectly called the Tasmanian tiger. Tasmanian tigers are marsupials, not tigers.
The Tasman Sea separates New Zealand with Australia and was named after the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman
