The plaque commemorates the landing on Dangar Island by Captain Arthur Phillip on the 7th March 1788.

Dangar Island’s first recorded visit by Europeans was in 1788 by Captain (later Governor) Arthur Phillip when the Island was named Mullet Island due to the abundance of this fish. Phillip visited twice again in 1789 using the Island as a base for short explorations of the river.
