Lately been reading quite a bit about early Australian/Pacific exploration and into today's paper came across a story about plans to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first documented European contact with Australia .In 1606 Willem Janszoon captain of the dutch sailing ship, the Duyfken, and his dutch crew sighted and charted 320km of Australian coast around Cape York peninsula. There's a replica of the same ship berthed on the Swan river and in April its planned for it to sail and visit 25 ports around the country to celebrate the anniversary . Worth checking out if it calls in , although small its a great looking vessel
