The Duyfken replica will sail into Bunbury in August to mark 400 years since Dutchman Dirk Hartog and his crew became the first Europeans to set foot on West Australian soil.

From August 21 to September 4 members of the public and schools will have the opportunity to see the Duyfken replica with tours each day.

The Duyfken will undertake a 10-week, 1000 kilometre journey that will call in at seven ports, including Bunbury.

Tickets to tour the vessel are available from www.ticketek.com.au\duyfken.
