摘要

The 1629 Batavia shipwreck on the Wallabi Group Islands, Australia, required the crew to find a sustainable water supply amidst mutiny. The Journal of Pelsaert, the master of the Batavia, describes hydrogeological observations during the siting of the first well recorded in Australia (mid- October 1629) that have not previously been discussed within a modern hydrogeological context. Observations of tidal fluctuations in groundwater levels appear to pre-date format recognition of this phenomenon by more than 200 years.
