Willem Janszoon is famous for being the first recorded European to reach the Australian continent, achieving this in 1606. He was a Dutch navigator and explorer who mapped parts of the western coast of Cape York Peninsula in present-day Queensland. His journey marked a significant moment in the Age of Exploration, as it contributed to European awareness of Australia. Janszoon's expeditions also paved the way for future Dutch exploration and colonization in the region.
