While Indigenous Australians first arrived on the mainland between 50,000 and 65,000 years ago, the first documented landing on Australia by Europeans is credited to which of the following explorers?

In 1606, Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon landed on the western side of Cape York Peninsula, becoming the first European to see the mainland of Australia. Luís Vaz de Torres explored what is now called Torres Strait years later. Before the European arrival on the continent, Indigenous Australians inhabited the continent for tens of thousands of years, trading with nearby islanders.
