now known as North I?av. It has over 
20 fathoms all round it. 
(2) That Marion anchored on llie out¬ 
side of tliis. a little to the north of 
Green Island, in 22 fathoms, with a grey 
sandy bottom. 
It is of interest to note that Mar¬ 
ion apparently anchored close to where 
Tasman did although Tasman may have 
been inside the shoal (if Marion’s'charts 
are correct as regards Its occurrence). 
Tasman anchored in 22 fathoms, white 
and grey fine sand. 
(■>) i i:af Marion first landed in what 
is known now as North Bay, and not 
on the Bream Creek beach, as is usually 
stated. 
(4* That Marion’s charts, in addition 
to the soundings, etc., show the lagoon 
<it t ie back of the rand dunes of the 
present North Bay. 
' Tasman’s charts did rot show either 
the lagoon or its outlet, which factor

was more correct than Walker with 
regard to the interpretation of the lo-* 
connection with the locality exam" 
ined by Tasman’s boat on the morn¬ 
ing of December 3. 1042. The natural 
scenic charms of the locality are there¬ 
fore interwoven with the 'romance of 
the early exploration of our southern 
isle and this was a n additional interest 
to the members of the camp. 
1 bin -day was spent by the advance 
party m completing the camp and pro 
paring for the reception of the main

Here they transhipped to * motoi 
launch, and continued the journey to 
the camp A quiet, still night made 
the run pleasant, and as the boat near¬ 
ed the hills at the foot of which the 
camp site was situated one of the ori- 
gunu Anzaos aboard remarked that the 
condition of the weather and the loom 
ot the shore reminded him forcibly ot 
the night of the landing on Gallipoli. 
. After a welcome supper, the new ar¬ 
rivals wen* duly instated in the vari¬ 
ous canvas homes; but it was ome tim ■ 
before all was silent, except for the 
dull boom of the waves end the occa¬ 
sional call of the spotted owl. or a 
sea bird on the nearby sand spit. 
(in Friday morning several excursion* 
were arranged, the main one going to 
the Tasman Memorial which was re¬ 
cently erected. Leaving the camp, the 
party proceeded in an easterly direction 
for about a mile, gradually climbing, 
until the summit of the hill was reached 
overlooking the ocean. From here a 
tine vista of the coast could be obtained. 
Away in the distance to the north-east 
of Cape Bernier The Sehoutens could 
be seen, whilst much closer Maria. 
Island loomed up and reminded us of 
the Raster camps wnieli we had held 
in that locality in the past. 
To the south-east the peculiar shape 
of Green Island rose from the sea be¬ 
yond i he extremity of Cape Frederick 
Henry. This is the original cape of 
that name as far as Tasmanian nomen¬ 
clature is concerned, hut by no means 
the original Green Island, for there are 
many islands hearing a similar desig¬ 
nation around the coasts of Tasmania. 
The original Green Island of Tasm.iniau 
waters is the small island in the C han¬ 
nel opposite Woodbridge, as this was 
named “lie Verte” (Green Island) by 
D'Entrecasteaux in 1792. 
Following the slope of the ridge down 
towards the sea. we came to the base 
of Cape Paul Lamanon. to the south of 
which is situated Prince of Wales Bay, 
the site of the Tasman Memorial. The 
hav is quite a small inlet, and towards 
it- head there exists a bar of stone, 
upon which, from both sides of the 
hav. there jut out reefs of stones which 
>crve to form an inner core to the bay. 
In rough weather the sea breaks upon, 
this with relentless force, but at the 
time of our visit on this occasion the 
sen was calm and the tide exception¬ 
ally low, which gave a good opportu¬ 
nity for an examination of the reef and 
allowed us to note the solid nature of 
its foundation and the massive boul¬ 
ders of its superstructure. It has been 
said that the reef was formed by the 
hay whalers in order to make a boat 
harbour, but there can ho no doubt as 
to its natural formation, although the 
bay whalers may have added to it in 
some degree. It would need an im¬ 
mense amount of labour to make any 
materf-1 difference to the reef, and in 
the absence of any direct proof the
