	Dirk Hartog Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dirk Hartog Island is the most important nesting site for loggerhead turtles in Western Australia, with Green and loggerhead turtles nesting on the beaches of Dirk Hartog Island and Peron Peninsula.
		The island was discovered in October 1616 by the Dutch sea captain Dirk Hartog, who was blown off course while sailing from Cape Town to Batavia (Jakarta).
		In 1801 the island was again visited, this time by a French expedition aboard the Naturaliste led by Captain Emmanuel Hamelin.

	Shark Bay - Stromatolites
		Stromatolites grow in Hamelin Pool because of the extreme salinity of the seawater, the limited circulation of the water, and the occurrence of calcium carbonate.
		The discovery of stromatolites at Hamelin Pool has helped science understand the significance of micro-organisms in the environment, helped unravel the history of life on earth, and helped establish a view of the survival of life that depends on interaction rather than competition.

		He also placed on the north-east of the island a new plate giving the name of his ship and the date of arrival.* The old plate remained for a while longer, but was not to be found when King** made a careful search for it in 1822.

		A little over a century ago, the skies over the Ailsa Craig, an island in the Irish sea 10 miles off the Ayrshire coast, were fabled for a "bewildering darkness" as puffins returned for the nesting season.
		The birds were given a helping hand in 1991, however, in the shape of a few tonnes of rat poison airlifted to the island as part of a Glasgow university conservation project.
		A baiting project followed, and the island is believed to have been rat free for a number of years.

		In Hamelin, Alkan has a faithful performer that is able to create the effects of a full-scale orchestra on the piano using a mere five fingers.
		Hamelin has no equal as an interpreter of Alkan; he inhabits the overheated world of this strange proto-Lisztian figure with a completeness that combines a total mastery of its fearsome technical challenges with an innate understanding of its sometime elusive emotional content.

		Major Sinclair thought the island an excellent place for a fort with its advantageous position, its abundant forests, its wonderful water and its good harbor; consequently, in 1790 the fine block-houses were built, a government house and a few other buildings were erected and the English troops took possession.
		This new fort was declared as a part of our settlement at the close of the war but a settlement which the British were very slow in making, and their reluctance is not to be wondered at.
		Hamelin reached the fort in December while De Quindre was away and almost all the Indians were out on the first hunt of the winter, so Hamelin met with no resistance.

	October - Season Calendar - Austin Symphony
		Hailed by the press as "one of the best American composers of his generation," Kevin Puts has had works commissioned and performed by leading ensembles and soloists throughout North America, Europe and the Far East.
		During the first eight minutes of the work, a slow orchestral build describes the unsuspecting climate pre-9/11, a naïve world aptly described by my mother as a metaphorical island.
		After a brief passage for solo violin, an upheaval of sorts effectively obliterates this opening statement and initiates another gradual crescendo which makes the use of the same material as the opening, cast this time in darker and more ambiguous harmonic colors.

		On the summit of the island or rock--for it can scarcely be called an island--the skeleton of a goat's head was found, and near it were the remains of a glass case-bottle.
		Here the always active botanist planted peach stones, and the party made their first capture of an "Indian." He and some more were paddling from island to island on logs--their only means of navigation--and a regular "duck hunt" ensued before one was caught, and taken on board the cutter by a boat's crew.

	The Wrecks Of Hamelin Bay, Western Australia
		In 1882 a long wooden jetty was built at Hamelin Bay, which quicly turned the area into an important south west harbour.
		For those of you who have been to Hamelin Bay (and seen the old remains of the jetty), you may have seen that the bay is protected from the south by Hamelin Island, but other than that, the bay is quite unprotected and is open to gails and storms coming in off the Indian ocean.
		Some relics are still there - the crumbling remains of the wooden jetty, the anchor from the Lovspring which is displayed at the Hamelin Bay car park, and at the Karridale cemetery you'll find the graves of four of the sailors from the Katinka who lost their lives that night.

		In consequence of their violations of the Hamelin treaty, Lefevre fined the Wesleyan chiefs 50 barrels of coconut oil, to be paid within six months if they wanted to avoid severe punishment from the next French warship that passed by.
		There is much in the peculiar circumstances of the island and in the character of its inhabitants, to check the fair and prosperous development of the work of God.
		While the rest of the island was for the most part Roman Catholic or Wesleyan, the south side of Itoteu [Itu'ti'u] and to some extent the north side also still clung to the old religion; the people of Matusa [Motusa] and Losa, and indeed the whole of the west end of Itoteu, were Christian.

	Western Australia
		Oppressed by a sense of his own danger and fearing for the safety of those left on the islands, Pelsart followed the coastline in the hope of reaching the river of Jacob Remmessens,* which according to his charts was close at hand.
		His observations with regard to the coast and the information he brought back concerning the country and its inhabitants have been proved to be remarkably reliable, and may be regarded as some compensation for his failure to achieve fully the actual objects of his mission.
		A remark made by Dampier when seeking a passage among the islands of the archipelago that bears his name, that "among so many islands we might have found some sort of rich mineral or ambergris,"* has given rise to a curious inaccuracy in many official and other publications concerning the gold discoveries of Western Australia.

		Though protected in the south by Hamelin Island, the bay is open to gales and storms that turn this coastline from summer tranquillity into a spectacular winter whitewash.
