Early explorers considered the local Aboriginal people to be timid and settlers found that they were excellent trackers. With the shor
tage of labour, many early settlers employed the Aborigines on their farms and many proved of great value with explorations.
On a voyage of discovery in 1803 were three French ships, "Geographe", Naturaliste" and "Casuarina" with Captain Baudin in charge of the small fleet. On board the "Casuarina", was Lieutenant de Freycinet, who sighted the rocky point, which was part of what is now known as Koombana Bay. On entering the bay he discovered an inlet which he named Leschenault, after the expedition's botanist, Leschenault la Tour. Thus the name Leschenault was added to the map.
On board the schooner, "Eagle" in January 1830, John Septimus Roe, Surveyor General of the colony, sailed to Cape Naturaliste and on the return journey he explored the countryside around Port Leschenault.
During 1841 John Roe drew a map, in colour, of the Leschenault area. Today much of that area has been developed.
