Matthew Flinders aboard the ''Investigator'' charted the area in 1802 as part of his circumnavigation of Australia. George Cheyne, a Scottish immigrant, took up land at Cape Riche in 1836, after arriving in Albany in 1831.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.explorationswa.com.au/Errata/Updated_Expanded_Bio_Notes.php )〕 He established a trading post which was often visited by American whalers. In about 1848, sandalwood cutters arrived in the area,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Heberle Fishing, Western Australia 1929-2004 )〕 The Surveyor-General of Western Australia, John Septimus Roe, visited the Cape in October 1848 as part of this 1848-49 expedition and reorganised his supplies while staying with the Cheyne family. He left 4 days later to make his way to the Russell Range. The Cheyne properties were later taken over by the related Moir family.〔 The Cape Riche Homestead, also known as Moirs Property, was designed and built between 1850 and 1860 by Alexander Moir. It comprises a large group of spongolite buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Register of Heritage Places - Assessment Documentation=Heritage Council of Western Australia )〕 In the 1890s the schooner ''Grace Darling'', provided supplies and delivered the mail on its monthly run between Albany and Esperance. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cape Riche, Western Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
