		Described by De Vlamingh as a âkind of rat as big as a common cat,â the quokka was the first kangaroo ever described by European naturalists—a leaf on a diverse branch of life, the marsupials, long separated from all other animals on Earth.
		De Vlamingh was so impressed by marsupial quokkas that he named their island home Rottenest—or ârat nestâ—later shortened to Rottnest.
		Fossil deposits suggest that when De Vlamingh arrived, quokkas were found throughout southwestern Australia in patches of early successional swamp shrublands, areas recently burned by natural fires.

	A murky past - Radio Netherlands Worldwide - Independent thinking, independent voice -
		Growing up in Western Australia, I was surrounded by reminders of Holland's sea-going history, and was forced at school to learn the names of the Dutch adventurers who had first mapped or foundered on the coast where I lived.
		The names Dirk Hartog, Pelsaert, and Willem de Vlamingh were loaded; strong associations with salt water, creaking timbers, violence, ill-fortune, and that curious depression one experiences when contemplating an era where an infected shaving cut could do you in.
		More seriously, nobody I have questioned has yet been aware that a Dutch crew - Willem Janszoon and the men of the Duyfken - made the first verified European landing in Australia (in 1606) or even that Australia was for centuries known as New Holland.
