Until now, knowledge of Willem de Vlamingh's expedition to Terra Australis in 1696-97 for the Dutch India Company has been based on the ships' logs. Vlamingh's personal journal was lost after it was translated into French during the early 18th Century. Phillip Playford's recent rediscovery of this translation, preserved in a Paris archive, has shed new light on Vlamingh and his voyage of discovery.
