Abel Tasman was a Dutch explorer born in 1603 in the Netherlands. In 1642, he set off on his first voyage and was the first European to sight New Zealand, although the indigenous Maori were already living there. During his exploration of New Zealand, a confrontation occurred between Tasman's crew and the Maori that resulted in the deaths of several Dutch sailors. Tasman is most famous for being the first European explorer to find and map New Zealand.

Abel Janszoon Tasman was a Dutch explorer born in 1603 in Holland. His first job was as a ships boy sailing all over the seas. On his first voyage, he discovered Tasmania and stayed there to plan his next journey. His second voyage saw him discover and map New Zealand, although he encountered difficulties. His third voyage was spent further exploring the lands he had previously discovered, including Fiji and Tonga. Tasman made important early European contacts and maps of Australia and New Zealand through his voyages of exploration in the 1600s.
Australia Is Discovered
The document discusses the origin and history of the name "Australia." It traces the earliest references to a southern land dating back to Roman times called "terra australis incognita." The Dutch were the first undisputed Europeans to sight Australia in 1606 and explored parts of the northern and western coastlines, naming the land "New Holland." In 1770, Captain James Cook mapped the east coast of Australia and claimed the land for Britain, naming it New South Wales.
Australia is Discovered
The document summarizes the origin and history of the name "Australia" and the early European exploration of the continent. It notes that Australia comes from the Latin word meaning "southern" and was commonly referenced in medieval times. The first undisputed European sighting was by the Dutch in 1606, who explored parts of the northern coast but were attacked by Aboriginal people. Later, Tasmania was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642 and claimed for the Netherlands. The British began exploring Australia in the late 17th century and in 1770 Captain James Cook mapped the east coast and claimed it for Britain, naming it New South Wales.

Australia was first known as "terra australis incognita" or unknown southern land in Roman times. The first undisputed European sighting was by Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon in 1606. In 1642, Dutch explorer Abel Tasman discovered Tasmania, naming it Van Diemen's Land. The first Englishman to see Australia was William Dampier in 1688. In 1770, Captain James Cook mapped the east coast of Australia for Britain and named the region New South Wales.

HUMANITIES YEAR 9: EARLY SETTLERS
Abel Tasman was the first European explorer to sight New Zealand in 1642. He encountered hostile Maori in Murderers Bay and named the land Staten Landt before it became known as New Zealand. In 1769, James Cook was sent to map New Zealand and determine if it was the hypothesized "great southern continent." Cook circumnavigated and mapped both islands, making contact and sometimes conflict with Maori tribes. His accounts of New Zealand's potential for settlement sparked European interest in colonizing the islands.

This document provides historical information about New Zealand from the 1800s, including:
1) Maori ancestors first arrived in New Zealand around 1350 AD, with European contact beginning in 1642 when Abel Tasman visited. Captain Cook explored New Zealand in 1769.
2) Whalers and traders began settling New Zealand in the 1790s, with the first free settlers arriving from Australia in the early 1800s. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840.
3) Many settlers came from Britain, Ireland and Scotland between 1800-1900, with the population growing from a few hundred Europeans in 1830 to over 2,000 by 1840. Gold discoveries spurred additional migration in the mid-1800

Batavia
The Batavia was a ship of the Dutch East India Company that wrecked off the coast of Western Australia in 1629, killing around 40 of its 341 passengers. A mutiny then broke out among the survivors led by Jeronimus Cornelisz, resulting in the massacre of over 110 men, women and children. Cornelisz was later hanged for his role in the mutiny along with some of his accomplices. The wreck of the Batavia was one of the worst mutinies in maritime history.
History of Australia
European explorers first reached Australia in the 17th and 18th centuries, with Captain Cook claiming eastern Australia for Britain in 1770. Due to overcrowding and harsh punishments in Britain, the first convicts were transported to Australia beginning in 1787. The first colonists established themselves at Port Jackson in 1788, founding Sydney. Throughout the 19th century, more settlers and convicts arrived as Australia became a British colony, with the six colonies federating to form the nation of Australia in 1901.
