Captain Cook did not find Australia. Dutch explorers had discovered the Australian continent in 1616, and named it "New Holland". Because the Dutch were not really interested in exploring the land, it remained unknown. Therefore, on early maps it was referred to as "Terra Australis Incognita" - "The Unknown South Land".
