No single person mapped the entire west coast of Australia, so it was mapped over many years. The first person to land on Western Australia's coast was Dirk Hartog, in 1616. Between then and 1699, which was William Dampier's second expedition to western Australia, various sections were mapped.

Matthew Flinders filled in the gaps when he circumnavigated Australia in 1801-1802.
