DYK this event occurred in 1606?

If anyone can tell me not about Cap’n Janzsoon the map guy (who my generation of South Australian state primary school kids heard about) but of the same boat Dufyken’s Captain Thuyssens pulling into the shallow bay (then an extraordinary marine & pioneer zone spawning ground) at Chihduna far-west SA in say 1609?

The SA Netherlands Society put up a brass plaque at the grain seaport Thevenard.
