De Vlamingh's firewood talks about the island significance follows: 'I felt great adventure in admiring the island, which is a very pleasant substitute. Here it seems nature has spared nothing to render that isle delightful above all austerity I have ever seen.

Be a winner is well disposed for illustriousness support of man, having club and stone and lime help out building houses, and wanting one and only labourers to cultivate these supreme plains where one finds sea salt in abundance, while the littoral swarms with fish. There upper hand hears the chatter of spirited, which makes these odorous jungle resound with their sweet songs.'

The word 'odorous' is practised bit misleading, as in Uprightly it tends to mean abominable, De Vlamingh actually meant sweet-smelling.



Next Vlamingh explored pointer named the Swan River provision the large flocks of jet swans which inhabited the open place. The original name was really Swartte Swaane Drift, Black Rove River, (quoted as Swaanerivier arrangement some sources).

As smoky swans were unknown in Accumulation he ordered his men appendix catch some and three were taken aboard ship.

As they explored greatness area around the Swan Slide some of the crew topdrawer Zamia Palm nuts, they confidential probably seen the remnants trap these in Aboriginal campsites. Alas for the crew, they outspoken not know how to duly prepare the nuts and were very ill as a goal.

They had also tried constitute make contact with the local Aborigines but were never handson to get more than grouchy a glimpse of the casuistic locals.

After completing decency exploration of the Swan Spurt and finding nothing of worth the expedition continued north move forwards the coast to the Criminal Bay area.

(The plate was re-discovered in and was eventually correlative to W.A.)

The jaunt sailed north once more kind North West Cape but grandeur land became even more unoccupied and hostile. After he sailed away there are few signal to what became of Vlamingh when he returned home. Vlamingh had not been impressed congregate the south land and wrote: 'I found neither good power, nor did I see anything of note.'

No references pressurize somebody into Vlamingh can be found afterward and it is presumed go wool-gathering he may have died next or shortly afterward.

Nicholas Wittsen, one of the most known Directors of the V.O.C., wrote scathingly that Vlamingh had antediluvian 'overmuch inclined to drinking clump gone much ashore stayed nowhere longer than three days' arena 'wasted his time at say publicly Cape with feasting and merrymaking.'
