Answer: Islands of Nuyts Archipelago near Ceduna (Eyre Peninsula, South Australia)

In 1627 Dutch official Peter Nuyts in “The Gulden Zeepard” sailed the waters off Ceduna and the offshore islands are called the Nuyts Archipelago. British satirist Jonathan Swift’s fictional hero Gulliver in ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ had some grand adventures on these islands and it was here he met the tiny people of Lilliput. The book was written not long after Matthew Flinders and Frenchman Nicholas Baudin discovered the islands in 1802.

I believe that I read last night that, due to an amendment with the calculations, that it is located within the Nullabor Plain. I have no idea where exactly.
