The Zuytdorp Nature Reserve takes its name from the ship Zuytdorp which was wrecked in 1712 en route to Batavia.
Stock routes were developed along the coastline and eastern boundary of the Zuytdorp Nature Reserve and stock would travel between Murchison House, Tamala and other Shark Bay stations to be loaded on lighters at Flagpole Landing or Tamala or sent south to Murchison River (R Cooper 1997, Edwards 1999).
The northern part of Murchison House Station and north of the emu proof fence adjoining Zuytdorp Nature Reserve was purchased by the WA Government in August 2005.

The wind was howling, the spray was flying up in our faces, stinging us and I thought of those poor people who first of all had survived the trauma of the shipwreck then actually having to traverse those sharp rocks with cuts all over their bodies.
We have evidence certainly that Dutch artefacts have been found quite a long way away from the site at some of the wells but the problem there is that it could have been Aborigines collecting things from the general site and taking them to their campsite or it could be Europeans, we don't know.

 400 years Netherlands-Australia: Explorers: Shipwreck: The Zuytdorp (1712)
The Zuytdorp was one of the largest ships in the service of the VOC’s Zeeland Chamber in the early 18th century.
Heat, poor food and tainted water wiped out many of those aboard, and by the time the ship reached the Cape 112 had died and 22 were seriously ill. However, it did not spend any longer than usual at the Cape and took on more men to replenish the crew.
Clearly, the Zuytdorp had foundered, but no rescue attempts were ever made as the area to be searched was too extensive.

The 'Zuytdorp', one of the great ships of the Dutch East India Company, disappeared without trace after leaving Cape Town in 1712, en route to Batavia (Jakarta).
Playford later proved that the wreckage and relics came from the long-lost 'Zuytdorp' which had crashed into these forbidding cliffs during the winter of 1712.
Phillip Playford brings to life the adventurous story of the 'Zuytdorp' - its voyages and its disappearance, discovery and identification of the wreck, looting of the treasure, courageous underwater archaeological investigations, and evidence that survivors managed to struggle ashore, but never returned to civilization.

In the 1920s a stockman discovered the remains of a castaway’s camp on the clifftops north of Kalbarri and excavation revealed the wreck of the Dutch trader, Zuytdorp, at the base of the cliff, but no human remains.
The fate of the survivors had been a three-hundred-year-old mystery until the diagnosis of the rare Ellis van Creveld Syndrome (endemic in seventeenth-century Holland) among local children of Aboriginal descent suggested that some of the Zuytdorp’s castaways survived long enough to pass the gene on to the Aborigines of the area.
