Willem Janszoon was the first recorded European to set foot on Australia, landing on the western side of Cape York Peninsula in 1606. He explored the area around what is now known as the Gulf of Carpentaria, specifically the region around the inlet he named "Nusantara." His voyage marked the beginning of European exploration of the Australian continent.
The first ever recorded person to find Australia was Willem Jansz/Janszoon, a Dutchman who was seeking new trade routes and trade associates. He became the first recorded European to step foot on Australia's shores on the western shore of Cape York Peninsula, on 26 February 1606.
Abel Tasman did not actually find Australia. In 1642, he encountered the island of Tasmania (then known as Van Diemen's Land) and New Zealand during his exploration of the South Pacific. Australia was later discovered by Willem Janszoon in 1606.
