Dirk Hartog island

Hi everybody! How is it going?

Today I will write about...well, you will see.

In 1616 man called Dirk Hartog floated to Dutch East Indies – you probably know this like Indonesia – when he got to wrong way. He appeared at natural harbour – now known as Turtle Bay. At the beach there were lots of turtles – something about 3 000 turtles. And because of this ''accident'' a world maps were re-drawn. This happed something about 150 years before Capitain James Cook claimed Australia's eastern side for Britain, I think this is really interesting, at least for me.

Nowadays, the island is almost uninhabited. Well...almost. The Wardles is family witch lives on this island alone. Just three people are living on this island.

But they have threre everything. The energy, fresh fruit and vegetable, solar panels generate power, water, everything you can imagine.

Tory Wardle said: „People ask if it's isolated up here. I think it's more isolated in Perth: we're surrounded by 20 guests each day.“

So, this is the end. I hope you enjoy reading this and found something new or interesting, please, let me know in commentaries.

Have a nice day,

XOXO,
