Proof that the Portuguese got to Australia first

Although I’m not Portuguese by birth, my whole family is Portuguese, and I’ve lived here most of my life.  This is why I found this story interesting, that an Australian author, Peter Trickett, is claiming in his book Beyond Capricorn that the Portuguese, and not the British or the Dutch, were the first to arrive in Australia.  History is not always buried beyond reach.  Read the article at the Washington Post here.  Via Kottke, an interesting blog about everything and anything.
