Years: 1646 - 1646
Abel Tasman discovers the passage into the Pacific, north of Australia’s Gulf of Carpenteria, during a subsequent 1644 mission to establish Australia’s relationship to New Guinea and Tasmania.
On the north coast, Tasman finds black, “naked beach-roving wretches, miserably poor, and in many places of a very bad disposition.”
