Original Note:
The earliest recorded European contact with Australia was by the Dutch in 1606 with Willem Janszoon's voyage. The seasonal Makassan visits, some of which involved Muslims, are believed to have started later in the 17th century. https://www.nma.gov.au/defining-moments/resources/janszoon-maps-northern-australian-coast https://www.nma.gov.au/defining-moments/resources/trade-with-the-makasar
