'''New Holland''' was the name given to what is now [[Australia]] by the [[Dutch]] who discovered the continent in the first decade of the seventeenth century and charted increasing lengths of the northern, western and southern coasts during the next half century. The discovery and charting of the southern coast of [[Tasmania]] in 1642 settled any arguments that the landmass was part of a super-continent to the south or east.
