His artist made the first European pictorials of Australia. Abraham Leeman and thirteen others, having been abandoned by Volckersen on the Green Islets off the central west coast of Western Australia, sailed back to Java in a small boat with almost no food or water--only four survived the ordeal. He saw Aborigines, their huts and tools. Captain Daniel sailed the London around the northern part of the De Houtman Abrolhos Islands and made the first description of part of Australia in English and the first map of part of Australia in English.

A telemarketing firm that Greg often worked for was owned by one of his former radio colleagues. Gardner said he noticed that Greg was turning inward, distancing himself from friends and family. His eye was on the next gig — what was up ahead, not looking back at what was in the rearview mirror. Greg was no longer employed at the station, but the two men knew how to reach one another.

Greg Aust found that amusing and the two men had a good laugh. That same pattern continued into his later years. Prior to his passing, Greg had made a major change in his life. It was no secret that during his radio career Aust partook of his fair share of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol consumption contributed to his reputation as a risky hire — unpredictable and sometimes unreliable. Bill Gardner said that as of , when he dined with Aust, his friend was sober and no longer drinking alcohol.

In his time, Greg Aust worked at many important radio stations. The jobs listed here are approximating chronological order, but they are not exact. Aust worked Las Vegas around , but, since the name of the station is unknown to me, that job was left off the list.

His last radio job that I can verify was in San Bernardino in Details about Aust are sketchy, so if anyone has further information, or can add to the list of radio stations he worked for, I would like to hear from you.

Also in January, paleontologists informed the world that they had found fossilized soft tissue which for the first time ever gave scientists an up-close look at dinosaur butts. The dinosaur had a cloaca, or an anatomical feature commonly found on animals like birds and reptiles that serves as their equivalent of genitals, an anus and a urethra.

As corresponding author Dr. Jakob Vinther, a paleontologist at the University of Bristol, told Salon at the time, "the shape of the cloaca is somewhat distinct. It doesn't look like either birds or the close relatives, the crocodiles. A small sailing ship named Duyfken that was captained by Willen Janszoon landed in Australia in They were sailing from Banten, Indonesia, searching for new trading opportunities.

They landed on the shore of river Pennefather that is located in Carpentaria before they went ashore. They then found the swampy land and people living there were unfriendly. Now then, Janszoon is considered as the first European in Australian soil. However, Janszoon never realized he had set foot in Australia as he thought the land was part of the New Guinea that is located further in the north.

In , another Dutch ship, Eendracht, while on the way to Indonesia landed on the west of the Australian coast. This ship was sailed by captained Dirk Hartog when it arrived at Shark Bay. Hartog then looked around but never found anything interesting. He then recorded his visit on top of the cliff at Rijksmuseum, but Hartog never realized he was in Australia. Most Dutch sailors continued to sail along this coastline during this period and called this place New Holland though they did not bother to explore it.

To them, they thought Australia is just a barren place that had no commercial importance. The crew faced a mutiny, and they had to build a small fort where they protected themselves.
