About Sharing Australias Stories
This programme has now finished. The final year of funding for Sharing Australias Stories was 2006-07.

Telling Australian stories - The voyage of the Duyfken
To mark the 400th anniversary of the first documented European contact with Australia, the Duyfken undertook a voyage, with port visits and associated activities generating enormous public interest and involvement. The Duyfken is a replica of the 16th century vessel in which Willem Janszoon and his crew mapped 350 kilometres of our coastline in 1606. The Australian Government was the major sponsor for the voyage.
