Hartog's Plaque was created by the Dutch explorer François Thijssen in 1628. It was named after the Dutch navigator Abel Tasman, who first sighted the Australian coast in 1642 and later named it after fellow explorer and cartographer Jan Hartog. The plaque was meant to commemorate the Dutch discovery of Australia and was placed on the western coast of Australia. It serves as an important historical artifact representing early European exploration in the region.
