An account of Nicolas Baudin's two-year scientific expedition to the coasts of Australia. Baudin commanded two ships — the Géographe and the Naturaliste — on a voyage commissioned by Napoleon to survey the Australian coastline and collect scientific specimens. The expedition spent considerable time in Van Diemen's Land, where Baudin's interactions with the Aboriginal population were documented in detail by the expedition's scientists, and where he encountered Matthew Flinders in Encounter Bay in April 1802 — a meeting that has become one of the most discussed moments in Australian exploration history.
J.S. Cumpston (1909–1986) wrote this account of the earliest European visitors to the Furneaux Group in Bass Strait, covering exploration between 1797 and 1810 — including figures such as Matthew Flinders, George Bass and James Kelly.
