The Dutch were the first known Europeans to discover Australia, but it is believed that the Portuguese actually arrived first; unfortunately, their records were all lost. The man who is credited with the discovery of New Zealand and Van Diemen`s Land (now Tasmania) was Dutchman Abel Janszoon Tasman between 1642 and1645. However, he believed that they were part of the same land. The first known Dutchman to reach Australia's shores was Dirk Hartog, who did so in 1616.
