Rossiter Bay

Rossiter Bay is located on the southern coast of Western Australia, in the Cape Le Grand National Park east of Esperance. The bay is noted as the place where explorer Edward John Eyre and his Aboriginal companion Wylie met the crew of the French whaling ship "Mississippi" in June 1841, having completed a crossing of the Nullarbor Plain.
