There was at least one British explorer who's known to have been to Australia before Cook in about 1699: William Dampier. He was a bucaneer, pirate, explorer, and naturalist. If you google on him you'll find a number of references. There's a recent book about him called "A Pirate of Exquisite Mind" by Diana and Michael Preston.
And if you're interested in learning more about VLF or hearing whistlers and such for yourself, you can get a receiver here: http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/poetry/inspire/
