The French Explorers and Sydney

"Sydneys creation and early years were witnessed by seven French expeditions of exploration between 1788 and 1831. These seven French expeditions, with their total of ten ships and over twelve hundred men and at least one woman spent, in total, well over a year in the new town of Sydney, meeting most of its leading citizens and visiting its expanding environs. The French Explorers and Sydney 1788-1831 contains hitherto inaccessible records of European experiences in the early settlement of Sydney. The journals and records of these French explorers and scientists offer cultural insights that are fascinating and engaging, offering a fresh perspective on the early colony and its citizens."--Provided by publisher.

  • ""Colonial Sydney as you've never seen it before ... The early years of Sydney were witnessed by seven expeditions of French exploration between 1788 and 1831. These expeditions spent, in total, over a year in the new town of Sydney meeting most of its leading citizens and visiting its expanding environs. The French explorers, including Laprouse, Freycinet and Bougainville, were received and entertained by Sydney's dignitaries, including governors King, Macquarie, Brisbane and Darling and the high-profile Macarthur family. Their revealing accounts present intimate details of the everyday."@en
