Come and explore the history of Duyfken, a replica of a small Dutch ship which sailed from the Indonesian island of Banda in search of gold and trade opportunities on the fabled island of Nova Guinea in 1606.
Under the command of Willem Janszoon, Duyfken and her crew ventured south-east. They sailed beyond Os Papuas (Papua New Guinea)and explored and chartered part of the coast of Nova Guinea. They did not find gold - but they did find the northern coast of a huge continent: Australia. Captain Janszoon was the first European to map and record Australia in history so Duyfken's voyage marks the beginning of Australia's recorded history.
