His reports of the continent were far more favourable than those of fellow Englishman William Dampier, who had only landed on Australia's far northwestern shores. Cook therefore helped shape Australia because his reports were directly responsible for the subsequent settlement of the land, even though this occurred eighteen years after Cook's mapping of the coast.
