Abstract

An exhibition portraying the journeys of marine explorers, scientists and artists from France who identified so much of Western Australia. This has been stimulated by the extensive research of Professor Leslie Marant, which is summarised in his book 'France Australe: a History of French Explorations and Plans to Colonize Western Australia, 1503-1825'.
