I have cut the following, becase it is not strictly relevant (and is poorly sourced): "In 1978 Dutch television documented this as part of a campaign by the Wik Munkan people to protect their landâusing the slogan, "we defeated you over 300 years ago, we will do so again"âand Shell consequently agreed to a petition from these same Aboriginal people. Shell agreed to abandon plans to build a bauxite mine if they could not secure Aboriginal consent, leaving untouched over 600 square miles (1,600Â km2) of forest that was still hunted and gathered by Aborigines."-- Grahame ( talk) 08:04, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
A map showing the voyage could clarify this article. Aren't there any (historical) maps of the voyage? Rubenescio ( talk) 11:38, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
The voyage started in 1605 and ended in 1606; shouldn't both years be in the title? â Editør ( talk) 11:49, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
Comment by 180.200.140.22 moved from article:
(Nevertheless, it appears that the killing of some of his men on various shore expeditions was the main reason for their returnâhe turned back where his party had its greatest conflict with aboriginals, which he subsequently called Cape Keerweer,[g 3] Dutch for "Cape Turnagain".)
"This literal translation is, as such, correct. It was however not to express they had turned around several times and did so again. In the Dutch of the early 17th century and in the circumstances, 'keer weer' expressed a sentiment of 'return' as in 'going back home. So an alternative English translation is 'Cape Return'."
