When did the first known landing in Australia by Europeans take place?

Just like when the Spanish after Columbus affected Th Aztecs and Incas.

love Australia but the Aboriginal people were dealt a savage blow when the white man landed.

The same thing happened when the colonists landed at Plymouth Rock and met the "native" peoples. They proceeded to steal and plunder the land they had named America.

Goodboy, The story of the world eh?

Verandton, Verandton, Abel Janszoon Tasman is a different person altogether he discovered New Zealand and was born only in 1603 so could hardly land in Australia in 1606. Willem Janszoon was born in 1570.

Abel Janszoon Tasman, not Willem Janszoon. That's clearly incorrect....

so when was Dampier and Tasman
