When was Australia's western coast mapped?
No single person mapped the entire west coast of Australia, so it was mapped over many years. The first person to land on Western Australia's coast was Dirk Hartog, in 1616. Between then and 1699, which was William Dampier's second expedition to western Australia, various sections were mapped. Matthew Flinders filled in the gaps when he circumnavigated Australia in 1801-1802.

The coast of Australia was first mapped and explored by which country?
No single country mapped the entire coast of Australia. The Portuguese were believed to be the first explorers to sight Western Australia, but all records of their journey have been lost. The Dutch did extensive exploration and charting of much of the western coast, but the French also had input into the southern corner. The Dutch, the French and the English all made forays into various parts of Tasmania. The first to chart the eastern coast was Captain James Cook of England, and he named many features along the coast, but did not explore every bay and inlet. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Matthew Flinders, also English, charted the entire coastline of Australia. During this time, he filled in some of the information Cook had missed. John Oxley and George Bass were more Englishmen who added to the knowledge of Australia's coastline
When did the British explore Australia?
The first Englishman to explore Australia was Captain William Dampier, an English pirate and sea explorer. He saw the western coast of Australia, first in 1688, and then a decade later. Dampier was unimpressed with the dry barrenness of the northwest coast, and claimed that the indigenous people were "the miserablest people in the world". It was Dampier's negative report which put off further British interest in the Australian continent for almost another 100 years. Lieutenant James Cook charted and officially claimed the eastern coast of Australia for Britain in 1770.
Which continent was discovered by captain Cook?
None. He was the first to seriously explore and map the coast of Australia, but that continent had already been discovered earlier by the Dutch.
