Explorer, navigator and buccaneer William
Dampier landed at this spot in 1699.
He was aboard the HMS Roebuck and was exploring the western coast of Australia.
Spending 9 days in the area, he named
Shark Bay and made the first scientific collection of botanical specimens of Australia before heading along the coast to the north.
