Van Diemen's Land, New South Wales, Tasman's Land - such sonorous names were assigned to the unknown land by the Spaniard Torres and the Dutchman Tasman in the era of the Great Geographical Discoveries and the famous English captain James Cook in the 18th century, not even suspecting that different sections of the same land lay in front of them. and the same mainland that we call Australia (from the Latin australis - southern).
