Willem Jansz/Janszoon was not particularly complimentary about Australia. He encountered hostility from the local indigenous people when he came achore on Cape York peninsula, and he lost ten of his crew during visits to the shore. He found the land swampy, but still charted 320 kilometres of the shore before returning to the Netherlands.
