South Australia was originally known as part of New Holland. The first explorer to chart part of the southern coast was Dutch explorer François Thijssen, also known as Frans Thijsz, who explored from the current southwestern Western Australian coastline to present-day Ceduna, on the western edge of the Eyre Peninsula, in 1627.
Explorer Matthew Flinders was the first European to explore the southern coast, investigating possibilities for settlement, in 1802.
