Now, where did that come from?

Time travellers from the 17th Century?

Unfortunately no - it is just a replica of the Duyfken - the first European ship to visit Australia - over 150 years before Captain Cook.

Spotted this surreal scene in the middle of the Swan River. The give away is the modern sailing boat, houses and a car park!

More information on both the replica (which was built in Western Australia) and the original can be found here Duyfken

Quite amazing that the Dutch came so far in such a small wooden sailing ship in the 1600's!
