Australia is the largest island upon the surface of the world. It is divided into three parts. The North was first seen by Pedro Fernandes de Quiro and Luis Vaez de Torres in 1605-1607. In 1642 Tasman discovered Von Dieman's land, which was believed to be a part of Australia. Captain Cook in his three voyages discovered the eastern coast which he called New South Wales.
