Abel Tasman arrived in Australia in 1642 and spent a brief period exploring the region, primarily along the west and north coasts of Tasmania. His stay was relatively short, lasting only a few weeks before he continued his voyage to New Zealand. Tasman's expedition marked the first recorded European contact with Tasmania and parts of the Australian mainland, but he did not establish any settlements or long-term presence in Australia.
