Rossiter Bay is on the southern coast of Western Australia, in the Cape Le Grand National Park east of Esperance. The bay is noted as the place where explorer Edward John Eyre and his Aboriginal companion Wylie met the crew of the French whaling ship ''Mississippi'' in June 1841, having completed a crossing of the Nullarbor Plain. It is named for Captain Thomas Rossiter, the Englishman who commanded the ''Mississippi''.〔Short, Andrew D. (2004). (''Beaches of the Western Australian Coast: Eucla to Roebuck Bay'' ), p. 93. Sidney University Press.〕 The bay contains a long, curving sandy beach which is often covered with dry seagrass. To the west lies Lucky Bay which was named by Matthew Flinders. The bay is accessible by conventional vehicle along a road ending in a carpark. This point is the trailhead for the Le Grand Coastal Trail.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rossiter Bay )〕 ==See also== *Geography of Western Australia *Exploration of Australia 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「Rossiter Bay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
