Wittecarra Creek
At the mouth of Wittecarra Creek near Red Bluff stands a Cairn. The inscription reads "It is believed the first permanent landing of white men in Australia was recorded here, at the mouth of the Wittecarra Creek. They were Wouter Loos and Jan Pelgrom, cast away by Commander Francisco Pelsaert after the wreck of the Dutch East India trading vessel 'Batavia', which ran aground on the northern group of the Abrolhos Islands in the year 1629 AD".
This is truly an historic spot.
