Happy Hour ....

.... at our campsite on St Francis Island in the Nuyts Archipelago, South Australia. The name Nuyts Archipelago was given in 1802 by British naval officer Matthew Flinders, in command of HMS Investigator. Nearly two centuries earlier, in 1627, Dutch sea captain Francois Thijssen had mapped the southern coastline of Australia from Albany in WA to Ceduna in SA. He named the region Pieter Nuyts Land, after an official of the Dutch East Indies Company who was sailing with him. He also named St Francis Island. Flinders recycled the earlier Dutch names.
