[edit] Summary
Description |
The map depicts the major expeditions in Australia between 1791 and 1821 AD, that is, in the first three decades of permanent European settlement on the island continent, as well as the major settlements founded during that time. British expeditions are coloured red or reddish, and French ones blue. The areas probably unknown to the Europeans in 1821 AD are shaded. Their borders and the tracks are only approximate. The names given are those of the leaders of the expeditions. The red-blue cross marks the point where the expeditions of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin met. Unfortunately, I could not ascertain the route of the French expedition, however, they sailed at least more or less along the west and south coast of Australia and landed in Tasmania.
