[edit] Dutch discovery note
"While this is regarded as the primary discovery and record of mainland Australia, Dutch explorers and trading vessels made the first European contact along parts of the Northern coastline up to a century earlier." - not sure that this adds anything to our knowledge of Alexander Dalrymple, and is out of place at the end of this article. I'm deleting it, and if someone wants to put it in the body of the article to provide some sort of in-depth context, well and fine. --Iacobus 03:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

- From memory this was an addition proposed and inserted at the behest of a previous aggrieved contributor, objecting to formulation of the British 'discovery' of Australia. Agree it is superfluous to the subject at hand and thus to its deletion Dick G 10:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
