  • Where Were Australia's First European Residents Marooned in 1629?
    The Landing Site Debate: Where Were Australia’s First European Residents Marooned in 1629? Rupert Gerritsen1 Introduction On 16 November 1629, following the Batavia Mutiny on the Abrolhos Islands, just off the central west coast of Western Australia, Commander Francisco Pelsaert marooned two of the mutineers on the adjacent mainland of Australia. Since 1959 there has been an ongoing debate as to where these two mutineers, Wouter Loos and Jan Pelgrom de Bye van Bemmel, were put ashore. Two contending sites have been proposed, the mouth of the Hutt River and a location 61 kilometres further north, Wittecarra Gully, with an array of evidence having been marshalled by the proponents of each of the sites to support their case. This is no trivial matter, as these two mutineers were in fact the first Europeans to take up permanent residence in Australia, 159 years before the First Fleet. It is therefore a question of some significance in Australian history. This paper will put forward the evidence and arguments for each site for consideration, endeavouring to fairly reflect the contending positions, so that others may judge for themselves which is correct. Background The story begins in the early hours of 4 June 1629, when the Dutch ship the Batavia with 320 people on board, struck Morning Reef in the Northern, or Wallabi Group, of the Abrolhos Islands, 90 kilometres west north west of Geraldton (1). Approximately 275 people survived the initial disaster, finding their way by various means to the nearest islands. But they were in dire straits, they had almost no food or water.

Interim recovery plans outline the recovery actions that are needed to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The attainment of objectives and the provision of funds necessary to implement actions are subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. This interim recovery plan was approved by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, Western Australia. Approved interim recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in status of the taxon or ecological community, and the completion of recovery actions. Information in this interim recovery plan was accurate as of May 2018. Interim recovery plan preparation:

Barsley was accused of abusing Benjamin Cook, Drum-Major in the marines, and striking John West, a drummer in the marines. It was alleged Hill had stolen bread valued at twopence, while Cole was charged with stealing two deal planks valued at ten pence. The men appeared before the Court of Criminal Judicature, the bench being made up of Judge-Advocate Collins and a number of naval and military officers - Captains Hunter, Meredith and Shea, and Lieutenants Ball, Bradley and Creswell.1,2 However, the first criminal prosecutions to take place on what is now Australian soil actually occurred in more dramatic circumstances in 1629.

  • Herpetofauna Assessment of Long Island, Wallabi Group – 8 November 2005
    Herpetofauna of Long Island, Houtman Abrolhos Herpetofauna Assessment of Long Island, Wallabi Group – 8 November 2005 Prepared for: MBS Environmental By: Dr R. A. How Western Australian Museum Locked Bag 49 Welshpool DC, WA 6986 Phone: (08) 9427 2738 Facsimile: (08) 9427 2882 November 2005 Report No: NTVBE/2005/MBS Western Australian Museum 1 Herpetofauna of Long Island, Houtman Abrolhos Introduction Long Island lies in the Wallabi Group of the Houtman Abrolhos and is roughly 11 ha in extent with a maximum elevation of 2 m. It is part of the Long Island chain in the centre of the Wallabi Group and is a composite island consisting of unconsolidated coral rubble and some smaller areas of sand. The vegetation and relationship to other islands has been well documented by Harvey et al. (2001). The reptiles of Houtman Abrolhos were first documented by Alexander (1922) and subsequently by numerous surveys of the islands by Storr and the Aquinas College, Perth, which were summarized and re-evaluated by Storr et al. (1983). More recently there has been extensive research on the reptiles of the Wallabi Islands and opportunistic examination of several islands in the Pelsaert Group that has been summarized by How et al. (2004). The Abrolhos islands are the type locality of six reptile taxa, Pogona minor minima, Heteronotia binoei, Christinus marmoratus, Strophurus spinigerus, Egernia stokesii stokesii and Eremiascincus richardsonii. This report examines the herpetofauna of Long Island, the site for a new nature-based resort development. Methods A search for herpetofauna on Long Island was undertaken on the 8th of November 2005, by four expert herpetologists.

  • Egernia Stokesii) National Recovery Plan
    Western Spiny-tailed Skink (Egernia stokesii) National Recovery Plan Wildlife Management Program No. 53 Prepared by David Pearson Department of Environment and Conservation WESTERN AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM NO. 53 Western Spiny-tailed Skink (Egernia stokesii) Recovery Plan 2012 Department of Environment and Conservation Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre WA 6983 FOREWORD Recovery Plans are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50 (CALM, 1992; CALM, 1994), and the Australian Government Department for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPaC) Recovery Planning Compliance Checklist for Legislative and Process Requirements (DEWHA, 2008). Recovery Plans outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The attainment of objectives and the provision of funds necessary to implement actions are subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved, as well as the need to address other priorities. This Recovery plan was approved by the Department of Environment and Conservation, Western Australia. Approved Recovery Plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in status of the taxon or ecological community, and the completion of recovery actions. Information in this Recovery Plan was accurate at June 2012. Recovery Plan Preparation: This recovery plan was prepared by David Pearson (Department of Environment and Conservation, Science Division). Holly Raudino and Manda Page assisted with editing and formatting, and Amy Mutton and Brianna Wingfield prepared the map. Citation: Department of Environment and Conservation (2012).
