The first explorers to reach the Western Australian coastline were the Dutch. They had more important consideration, such as trade with Asia, and there was very little in Australia's landscape to appeal to them. The land was flat, dry and barren in appearance. The first English explorer to reach Australia was William Dampier. Landing in Australia's northwest, he was completely unimpressed by the land, and his negative reports influenced England against Australia, until Captain Cook sailed up the fertile eastern coast in 1770, and returned a highly favourable report on the country.
