	Australia Travel Guide - Travel to Australia
		Australia is a land of contrasts - topographical, cultural, physical, meterological and visual.
		Australia is a nation in its own right, it is also a technically a continent, with large differences between regions.
		Good places to set off for exploration of the great outdoors are big cities such as Canberra, Darwin, Adelaide and Perth, that all have interesting sights and a good cultural atmosphere as well.

	European exploration of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Australia is often said to have been discovered by Royal Navy Lt. (later Captain) James Cook in 1770, he was merely one of a number of European explorers to have sighted and landed on the continent prior to English settlement, and he did so about 170 years after the first such documented encounter.
		Explorations 1501-1600 AD The first documented and undisputed European sighting (and landing) of Australia was in 1606, by the Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon aboard the Duyfken.
		Explorations 1821-1837 AD The opening up of the interior to European settlement occurred gradually throughout the colonial period, and a number of these explorers are very well known.

	Exploration
		Settlements were established on the Brisbane River, Queensland, in 1824; on the Swan River, Western Australia, in 1829; on Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, in 1835; and on Gulf St Vincent, South Australia, in 1836.
		Western Australia and South Australia were granted legislative councils in 1838 and 1842 respectively.
		Western Australia, a free settler's colony short of labour, elected to receive quotas of convicts between 1850 and 1868.

	European discovery and the colonisation of Australia - Stories from Australia's Culture and Recreation Portal
		The coast of Australia, featuring Tasmania as a separate island, was mapped in detail by the English mariners and navigators Bass and Flinders, and the French mariner, Baudin.
		The British province of South Australia was established in 1836, and in 1842 it became a crown colony.

		Although Australia is often said to have been discovered by Royal Navy Lt. (later Captain) James Cook in 1770, he was merely one of a number of European explorers to have sighted and landed on the continent prior to English settlement, and he did so 164 years after the first such documented encounter.
		Nor did the exploration of Australia end with Cook; explorers by land and sea continued to survey the continent for many years after settlement.
		Although it is possible that the Portuguese Luis Vaez de Torres and Pedro Fernandes de QueirÃ³s could have sighted Australia in 1605, the first documented and undisputed European sighting (and landing) of Australia was in 1606, by the Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon aboard the Duyfken.

		Western Australia dominated with $423.6 million, 57.8% of total Australian mineral exploration expenditure in 2002-03.

	The Association of Mining and Exploration Companies - Western Australia Mining & Exploration Membership
		It was formed in 1981 by a group of mineral explorers and is now regarded as 'the voice' and most successful advocate for mineral exploration within Australia.
		Australia wide, AMEC's members include some of Australia's largest mining houses (eg Jubilee Mines N.L., Consolidated Minerals Ltd, and LionOre Mining Australia Pty Ltd) and some of Australia's most notable mineral explorers (eg De Grey Mining, Metex Resources and Jackson Gold to name a few).
		As a consequence, AMEC is not driven by the specific interests of large companies and this credibility enables AMEC to retain strong relationships with all sides of politics at the highest level and provide members with an advocacy power they could not otherwise generate.

	7.30 Report - 22/03/2006: Exhibition celebrates Dutch exploration of Australia
		Well before Captain James Cook charted Australia's east coast, Dutch mariners had mapped vast stretches of the Australian coastline, and the land mass was even known as New Holland.
		PAUL BRUNTON: They were after gold and spices, and they found none, but it did begin the opening up of Australia, and further exploration by the Dutch on the western coast and on the south coast, and on the south coast of Tasmania.
		PAUL BRUNTON: This map of Australia, which was published in the 1660s, was the state of knowledge of our part of the world, really, until Cook in 1770.

	Nineteenth Century Exploration of Australia
		Although Australian coasts were charted in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and the first permanent European settlement established in New South Wales in 1788, exploration of the interior of the continent was entirely a nineteenth century phenomenon.
		Prepared by the master London atlas-maker Edward Stanford, it neatly summarizes the routes taken by the period's major explorers of the Interior.
		The map was so charming that I decided to make it the central feature of an Australia exploration-focussed service; to reveal its detail we have reproduced it in three overlapping panel sections that, hopefully, retain most of its original feel.

	WILLEM JANSZOON AND THE DUTCH EXPLORATION OF AUSTRALIA
		The sensational horrors of the Batavia wreck attract much attention and obscure the less sensational fact that VOC mariners engaged in deliberate and accurate exploration of Australia's northern, western and southern coasts (plus Tasmania).
		The continuing popularity of the story is part of the prevailing characterisation of the Dutch exploration as bumbling and accidental, quite different from the noble work of dedicated Royal Navy officers.
		In fact, Willem Janszoon was sent by the VOC on a deliberate voyage of exploration which he carried out with great skill and courage.

	Aust U Exploration
		The development of civil nuclear power stimulated a wave of exploration activity in the late 1960s, and most of Australia's major orebodies were discovered as a result.
		Exploration expenditure decreased during the period of the Labor Government 1972-75 due to particular government policies, (though that government supported uranium development and took equity in both Mary Kathleen and Ranger).
		Australia's known uranium resources have increased little since 1982 (except for Olympic Dam), which may be correlated with diminished exploration expenditure.

		Daniel Joseph Konopka, who had been in touch with the Chicago Urban Exploration group, is arrested after being found with hazardous chemicals in the tunnels under the University of Illinois at Chicago; he is subsequently sentenced to 13 years in prison for having stored cyanide in Chicago's subway tunnels.
