Best Answer

Neither. James Cook explored much of the coast in the 1770s for Britain. Abel Tasman had already explored some of the coasts for Holland in the 1640s. Australia may have been seen by white people some years earlier. Sir Edmond Hillary was a New Zealander who, along with sherpa Tensing, first climbed Mount Everest in 1953. The aborigines arrived in Australia tens of thousands of years ago, so they were the true discoverers.
