It is based on Henricus Hondiuss 1636 map of the region and incorporates updates reflecting Dutch landfalls and explorations in both Western Australia as well as Cape York of northern Australia. The inclusion of parts of Australia's northern coastline reflects information gathered from Dutch voyages, such as those of:n Dirk Hartog (1616): The first European known to have set foot on the western coast of Australia, naming it "'t Landt van Eendracht" (Land of Eendracht).n Jan Carstensz. and Willem Joosten van Colster (1623): Explored northern Australia, including Cape York and Arnhem Land.n Gerrit Frederiksz. de Witt (1628): His discoveries contributed to mapping part of the Australian coastline, leading to the designation "G.F. de Wits Land."
