Willem Jansz/Janszoon was known for the discovery of Australia.
Although Jansz is credited with being the first recorded European to step foot on Australia's shores, doing so in 1606, he did not recognise it as a new continent, unlike later Dutch explorers. For many decades, Jansz's "discovery" led to maps showing that Australia joined to the island of New Guinea.
