Hartog dish: oldest European object left in Australia returns after 400 years  

Oldest European object left on Australian soil on loan from Amsterdam, and WA Maritime Museum says it will probably not leave the Netherlands again

A pewter plate that is the oldest European object to be left on Australian soil has been loaned to a Perth museum 400 years after it was originally nailed to a wooden post in Shark Bay, Western Australia.

The flattened engraved plate was left by the Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog in 1616 in the Dutch East India company ship Eendracht, meaning unity or concord, which had arrived there en route to Java.
