Although Australia was Discovered in 1605 by the Dutch there are no maps of Australia as such until the start of the 19th Century. Early representations  of its coast must be found amongst maps of the World, Asia, the East Indies. There are few maps which show any inland features of Australia until the 19th century. All the map makers working at that time made maps of the what was to become Australia because it was a recent discovery, but few of them had any new information to add at this time.
