Lost Dutch tribe
An amazing tale with supposed credibility.
Remember the Bush Tucker Man, Les Hiddins.
He has an ongoing pursuit to find evidence that survivors of a Dutch shipwreck off Western Australia trekked half way across Australia and colonised Palmer River, 300km SSW of Alice Springs. The colony is claimed to exist between 1708-1832; started before British colonisation of Australia. DNA testing will try to confirm links between local Aboriginals and family descendants related to those onboard that doomed Dutch ship; back in early 1700.
The search for evidence in Central Australia is winding up due to weather and will recommence next year.
An amazing tale ... and wouldn't it be nice if it ended up being true 🤔

ReplyDeleteSo much Aussie history yet to be discovered. I await the outcome.
