Dirk Hartog Island
Dirk Hartog Island, an island off the coast of Western Australia, was discovered in October 1616 by the Dutch sea captain Dirk Hartog, who was blown off course while sailing from Cape Town to Batavia (Jakarta). The island was later named in his honour. Hartog nailed a pewter plate with his name and the date inscribed on it to a tree.
