The Great Southern Land
Beginning with the first explorers – indigenous Australians, who arrived on these shores tens of thousands of years ago – the history of Australia is inextricably linked with the history of exploration.
European fascination with ‘Terra Australis Incognita’ (the unknown land of the south) was recorded more than 2,500 years ago, but it wasn’t until the 17th century that Europeans first made landfall in Australia, which the Dutch navigators dubbed New Holland. British explorers followed, with James Cook claiming the east coast of the continent in the name of King George III in 1770. Following the establishment of British colonies, the Age of Exploration saw many put the pursuit of knowledge before their own safety, setting off to discover inland Australia.
