That's well back in pre-history, when the first of the Australian Aborigines came south. About 50 000 years ago I believe.
The first recorded European to set foot on Australian soil was Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon in 1606. He landed on the western coast of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland.

Botany Bay was indeed the first place where Lieutenant (not yet Captain) James Cook set foot on Australian soil.
The first Eurpean to set foot on Mississippi soil was Hernando de Soto.
Lieutenant James Cook (later Captain) stepped on Australian soil in 1770, but he was not the first European to do so. The Dutch, as well as fellow Englishman William Dampier, had already stepped on Australian soil.
Nobody knows the first person to have set foot on Iraqi soil as such an event would have occurred in pre-history. If you are considering proto-humans (such as Homo erectus and Homo ergaster) to count as people, the date may be as early as 500,000 or 600,000 years ago. If we require the first person to be a modern human (Homo sapiens sapiens) then this event probably would have occurred between 250,000 and 225,000 years ago.

The Earliest Australians were Aboriginals, who have lived on the land for many thousands of years before Europeans ever stepped foot on Australian soil.
