Carnac Island : ウィキペディア英語版 | Carnac Island Carnac Island is a , A Class, island nature reserve about south-west of Fremantle in Western Australia. ==History== In 1803, French explorer Louis de Freycinet, captain of the ''Casuarina'', named the island ''Île Pelée'' (''Bald Island''). It was also known as ''Île Lévilian'' and later ''Île Berthelot''. In 1827, James Stirling changed its name to ''Pulo Carnac Island'' in honour of John Rivett Carnac, Second Lieutenant on his ship HMS ''Success''. "Pulo" is Malay for "Island"; it is not known why Stirling included the term, and it was soon dropped. In the early days of the Swan River Colony the island was used as a penal settlement for Indigenous Australians.
