About the Book
A small community, all as white as himself, he said about three hundred; that they lived in houses enclosed all together within a great wall to defend them from black men; that their
fathers came here 170 years ago, from a distant land across the sea …
Lt. Robert Dale 1832 Western Australia
The story of the Lost White Tribes of Australia by Henry Van Zanden confirms longstanding rumours, never previously proven true, that a community of Dutch-descended people was found … in the early 19th century.
The community was living proof that foreigners had occupied the continent long before the British and if its existence became known the UK’s claim to sovereignty could be
threatened. So it was kept a secret and has remained so to this day.

Book Review
Vanished shipwreck survivors
“Author Henry Van Zanden was asking me about my experiences diving on the 1656 VOC wreck of the Gilt Dragon…cutting a long story short…..later I wrote a testimonial for his fascinating book: The Lost White Tribes of Australia.
“It has been my privilege to read Henry Van Zanden’s book: ‘The Lost White Tribes of Australia’. From the moment I received it, I was impressed by the quality of the print and images used. A great story that I can highly recommend.
It tells the intriguing tale of the survivors of shipwrecks on the coast of Australia and how they probably lived with and became part of Australian Aboriginal tribes. Historian & retired history teacher, Henry Van Zanden is recognized internationally as a leading expert in the history and discovery of Australia.”
