Read the passage below.
The land of Australia is perhaps the oldest in the world. At a time when the wide ocean swept over the continent of Europe, the land of Australia stood above the lone waters. No ship had touched that unknown shore. But in the seventeenth century, when Holland was mistress of the seas, the Dutch planted their flag on every shore; they found their way to the Great South Land. It was a Dutchman who discovered Tasmania. In the long reign of George III of Britain, in 1768 Captain James Cook was sent upon an exploring expedition. At Torres Strait Cook landed. Once more he set up the British flag and claimed the whole eastern coast with all its bays, harbours, rivers, and islands, for King George. And to this great tract he gave the name of New South Wales.
