Background: proposed in 2004, the map was developed over a period of five years (2005-2010) to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first known charting of part of the western coastline of Cape York Peninsula, Queensland by Willem Janszoon in the Duyfken (1606). Each Australian state and territory was encouraged by the "Australia on the Map 1606-2006" (AOTM) organisation to celebrate the charting of its own coastline.
