The Sign Reads:
"This is a full size replica
of the Brig Amity, the ship which carried the party which established
the first British settlement in Western Australia. This party,
under the command of Major Edmund Lockyer, landed near this spot
on December 26th 1826.
The original Amity was completed
in New Brunswick, Canada in 1816. After some years as a trader
she sailed to Hobart and in 1824 was bought by the colonial government
in Sydney to assist in supply and exploration. She was important
in the establishment of settlements at Moreton Bay, Queensland
and King George Sound, Western Australia. The AMity was wrecked
of Flinders Island on June 18th, 1845."

Climbing around the inside of this vessel brought
home to us in a tangible way what the voyagers must have experienced bobbing about on the
sea. It was a great learning experience for us all.
