The Dieppe Maps of the 16th Century incorporate Portuguese charts of of the north and east coast of Australia - probably made during expeditions by Mendonca in 1523-24. The mapped coast stretches from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Warrnambool in Victoria. The first written account is from the log of Dutch captain Willem Janszoon who mapped the Gulf of Carpentaria in 1606. In the same year, Torres, a Portuguese in Spanish service, mapped Torres Strait and noted in his log that he expected to be able to get betwen Australia and New Guinea, which gives substance to a 1597 map showing the strait. The Dutch were the first to land on the Western coast, which is why the continent was initially named "New Holland". Dutch sea-captain Dirk Hartog sailed too far whilst trying out Henderik Brouwer's recently discovered route from the Cape of Good Hope to Batavia, via the Roaring Forties. Reaching the western coast of Australia, he landed at Cape Inscription on 25 October 1616.
