In 1831, Wulaia bay was the site of a very short-lived missionary settlement established by Richard Matthews. He was brought there by the Beagle which was captained by Robert Fitzroy. It was this voyage of the Beagle that Charles Darwin was part of.

This bay may also have been the site of the boat theft on an earlier expedition of the Beagle that led to bad relations between the natives and Captain Fitzroy.

The last two columns (far right) were delayed by several minutes while we had a few minutes of silence to listen to the regions natural sounds. This shows just how quickly the weather can change in the region.

Note: the GPS location given is that of the museum building visible to the lower left in the picture. The picture was actually taken about 2K from that location.
