<P> A mainland Aboriginal dreaming story tells of the Backstairs Passage flooding: </P> <P> "Long ago, Ngurunderi's two wives ran away from him, and he was forced to follow them . He pursued them and as he did so he crossed Lake Albert and went along the beach to Cape Jervis . When he arrived there he saw his wives wading half - way across the shallow channel which divided Naroongowie from the mainland . He was determined to punish his wives, and angrily ordered the water to rise up and drown them . With a terrific rush the waters roared and the women were carried back towards the mainland . Although they tried frantically to swim against the tidal wave they were powerless to do so and were drowned ." </P> <P> On 23 March 1802, British explorer Matthew Flinders, commanding HMS Investigator, named the land "Kanguroo (sic) Island", due to the endemic subspecies of the western grey kangaroo, Macropus fuliginosus fuliginosus, after landing near Kangaroo Head on the north coast of the Dudley Peninsula . He was closely followed by the French explorer Commander Nicolas Baudin, who was the first European to circumnavigate the Island and who mapped much of the island (which is why so many areas have French names). </P> <P> Although the French and the British were at war at the time, the men met peacefully . They both used the fresh water seeping at what is now known as Hog Bay near Frenchman's Rock and the site of present - day Penneshaw . Baudin named the Island Île Borda, in honour of Jean - Charles de Borda, although the French chart published by Louis de Freycinet after Baudin's death referred to the Island as Île Decres . </P>
