The map of Australia was developed over hundreds of years, as European explorers came across parts of it but not the whole coastline.

Early maps show guess-work as to what the map might look like. Check the 1756 French map in the related link to see how they thought Tasmania was joined to the mainland, and the islands of Vanuatu were part of Australia.

By the early 1800s the map of the coastline had been filled in. By the later 1800s the interior map was mostly complete.
