How did Jan Carstensz get to Australia?

Jan Carstensz, a Dutch navigator, reached Australia in 1623 during his expedition while sailing from the Dutch East Indies. He commanded the ship Duyfken, which was originally tasked with exploring the region for trade opportunities. Carstensz is credited with being among the first Europeans to sight the western coast of Cape York Peninsula in Australia, although his interactions with the land and its indigenous peoples were limited. His voyage contributed to the European understanding of Australia's geography.
