"History mentions that Dutch explorers named these parts New Holland in the 1660s. In 1770 Captain Cook from Britain claimed it as New South Wales. It was in the early 1800s that Mathew Flanders, a British voyager used the work Australia since he found it was more appropriate. In 1824 the British Government officially adopted the name Australia which includes the entire continent and the nation that was formed later"
