Who mapped Australia's coastline?
lieutenant James Cook (not yet a captain) was the one who first mapped the coasts of these countries. Although James Cook did not discover New Zealand or Australia, he was the first to explore and map both. He circumnavigated New Zealand's islands in 1769 and much of the eastern coast of Australia in 1770.
Why did George Bass need to explore the coast line of Australia?
George Bass explored the coastline of eastern Australia in order to help provide a more accurate map of the coastline. When James Cook first charted the east coast, he did not explore all the inlets and bays. Bass, along with Matthew Flinders, undertook to fill in the gaps in knowledge of the eastern Australian coastline, so that accurate, current maps could be drawn.
Was James Cook the first to map Newfoundland?
James Cook published the first somewhat accurate map of the island of Newfoundland in 1775. There were earlier maps which were extremely inaccurate.

Who was the first person to map the Texas coastline?
Most modern maps of the Australian coastline were conducted by the world geodetic survey of 1984. These were not conducted by one person, but were the compiled efforts of a multinational organization. However, William Dampier (explored in the 1600s) deserves credit for first charting areas of the Western Australian coastline, while Captain James Cook initially charted the eastern coast in 1770, with remarkable accuracy for his time. George Bass, together with Matthew Flinders explored and charted much of the coastline south of Sydney in the early days of the New South Wales colony. Bass also proved for once and for all that van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was an island. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Flinders circumnavigated the continent, charting the entire coastline of Australia.
