When dirk hartog discovered Australia was he a captain?
Dirk Hartog did not discover Australia, as it had already been settled by Indigenous Australians for thousands of years. Dirk Hartog was the second European person to arrive in Australia. He was the commander, or captain of his ship at the time. The first European person to arrive in Australia was Willen Janszoon, who mapped the East coast in 1606. Both explorers believed that Australia was part of Papua New Guinea at the time.
Why didn't Dirk Hartog claim Australia?
Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog did not claim Australia because he did not see that the land offered anything of value. Landing on the west coast, he was faced with flat, featureless countryside that held few prospects for future trade - a complete contrast to what Cook saw when he charted (and claimed) the eastern coast over 150 years later.
When was Australia's western coast mapped?

Matthew Flinders filled in the gaps when he circumnavigated Australia in 1801-1802.
