The first recorded European voyages of discovery to Australia were made by Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon in 1606, followed by explorers like Abel Tasman, who reached New Zealand in 1642. Captain James Cook later charted the eastern coastline of Australia in 1770, claiming it for Great Britain. These explorations laid the groundwork for subsequent colonization and settlement in both regions.
