no kidding?
[edit] VOC Historical Society reference
Note, the reference of the VOC Historical Society for Hartog states that he made the first recorded European landing on Australian soil. This statement would appear to be incorrect, since Willem Janszoon's party aboard the Duyfken had made two (albeit, brief) landings on the western shores of Cape York Peninsula some ten years earlier, during which more than half his crew were killed in encounters with the indigenous inhabitants. Hartog's expedition was the first to spend a few days on Australian territory, if you like, since they spent three days ashore, whilst Janszoon's landings were only brief and aborted affairs. --cjllw | TALK 02:10, 2005 July 13 (UTC)
