How was Australia really discovered? 🧐

Most history books tell a simple story: Captain James Cook “found” Australia in 1770. But the truth is far more complicated — and far older. From Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who lived here for over 65,000 years, to Makassan traders, Dutch navigators, and finally British colonisation, Australia’s story is one of misunderstood discovery, power, and erasure.

In this video, we explore:

How Indigenous Australians thrived long before any European arrived.

The role of early European explorers like Janszoon, Hartog, and Cook — and what they really did.

Why modern Australia is built on two parallel histories, and what that means today.

We uncover the myths, challenge the official narrative, and ask the tough question: Who really “discovered” Australia?
