Who discovered western Australia and when?
Aborigines had inhabited the mainland of Australia, including the western half, for many thousands of years before Europeans came, while Malay traders had also discovered the west, landing on the far northern coast, collecting trepang (sea slugs) to trade with China, for hundreds of years before Europeans. The western coast of the continent that was then known by Europeans as Terra Australis Incognita is believed to have first been sighted by Portuguese sailors. However, no records still exist to substantiate this claim. The first recorded sighting of Australia's western coastline came in 1611, when Dutch mariner Hendrik Brouwer experimented with a different route to the Dutch East Indies. However, actual credit for the discovery of Western Australia is usually given to Dutch sea-captain Dirk Hartog. In 1616, he sailed too far whilst trying out Henderik Brouwer's route from the Cape of Good Hope to Batavia, via the Roaring Forties. Reaching the western coast of Australia, he landed at Cape Inscription in Shark Bay on 25 October 1616. His is the first known record of a European visiting Western Australia's shores.
Where did Dirk Hartog land in Australia?
Dirk Hartog came to Australia quite by accident. At certain times of the year, strong trade winds known as the "Roaring Forties" would sweep across the Indian Ocean, and for the most part, the traders travelling to the Spice Islands were able to use these winds to direct their ships. In 1616, Dutch sea-captain Dirk Hartog accidentally sailed too far while he was trying out Henderik Brouwer's previously discovered route from the Cape of Good Hope to Batavia. The Roaring Forties directed Hartog onto Western Autralia's shores.
What is the difference between Dutch and Germany?

What did Pennsylvania Dutch settlers speak?
They spoke a dialect of West Central German (and a few still do, within their communities). The "Pennsylvania Dutch" were Germans from the Palatinate and western Switzerland. The English colonists began calling them "Pennsylvania Dutch" because the word for German (in German) is "Deutcsh". While is it true that many of them came down the Rhine from the Palatinate and boarded ships from Amsterdam, they were not from Holland and they did not speak Dutch.
Who came after the Dutch?
The Germans
Who were the first settlers in Australia and where did they come from?
The first people to settle in Australia were the Aborigines and they came from the Indian subcontinent. The first "official" European settlers in Australia were the group of convicts, officers and marines who came out from England on the First Fleet in 1788. However, there is strong evidence to suggest that the first European settlers in Australia were Dutch sailors stranded after being shipwrecked off the Western Australian coast in the early 1600s.
Why did the Kanakas come to Australia?
Aborigians or Indigenous Australians have been on that continent at least 40,000 years and that is even before the continent was discovered by Dutch explorers in 17th century and that is even before British came to Australia in late 18th century. The real question should be; "WHEN" DID ABORIGIANS CAME TO AUSTRALIA?
