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.
