‘The phantom of Terra Australis, an unknown south-land, haunted the minds and maps of cosmographers for more than two millennia... The landmasses of the northern hemisphere needed a counter-balance in the south. These speculations... were still influential in the eighteenth century until the time of James Cook. It was felt that an undiscovered southern continent had to exist because the known land masses of the southern hemisphere were not sufficient to balance those of the northern half of the globe...' (Schilder, Australia Unveiled, pp. 7-8).
