Frederick de Houtman was a Dutch explorer who, along with Jacob d'Edel, sighted land along the western coast of Australia. The area was close to where Perth is today, and they called it d'Edelsland. They sailed further north along the coastline only just avoiding a group of shoals which they named Houtman Abrolhos. Houtman then landed at Eendrachtsland, an area previously encountered by explorer Dirk Hartog.
