European discovery of Australia began with Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon in 1606 and continued with British explorer Captain James Cook in 1770. This marked the start of colonization, though Indigenous Australians had lived there for over 60,000 years.

A fascinating reminder of the rich history of Australia, shaped by both Indigenous Australians and European explorers. It's crucial to acknowledge and respect the deep connection of Indigenous Australians to the land for millennia before European arrival. 🇦🇺
