Book Reviews
BOOK REVIEWS Susan Hunt and Paul Carter, Terre Napoleon: Australia Through French Eyes 1800-1804, published by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales, distributed by Bloomings Books (37 Burwood Road, Hawthorn, Victoria, 3122), $85 Hardback ISBN 0949753815, $45 Paperback ISBN 949753874. In Explorations, No. 8 (December 1989), I reviewed Jacqueline Bonnemain's, Elliott Forsyth's and Bernard Smith's wonderful book Baudin in Australian Waters: The Artwork of the French Voyage of Discovery to the Southern Lands 1800-1804, (Oxford, 1988). Although I had nothing but praise for this book, I was then pessimistic enough to declare that 'Baudin's ... name seems destined to be known by only a handful of Australians for many years to come'. Thanks to the splendid 'Terre Napoleon' exhibition, held recently in Sydney and Canberra, I have been proven delightfully wrong! The beautiful catalogue of the exhibition owes a great deal to the work of Bonnemain, Forsyth and Smith, particularly with regard to biographical and descriptive notes. Although Terre Napoleon: Australia Through French Eyes 1800-1804 is not as rich a scholarly resource as Baudin in Australian Waters ..., it is a fine example of book production and the illustrations are produced to the same high standards. It is certainly more affordable.* When Nicolas-Thomas Baudin's expedition was outfitted in Le Havre, Charles- Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846) was attracted to the prospect of adventure in southern waters and enlisted as an assistant gunner, 4th class. But when the expedition's artists deserted at He de France (Mauritius), Lesueur took on the task of official artist. -

The general slope is to the south especially of the eastern half, which corresponds to the drainage being effected by south flowing streams. The western boundary is represented by the West Coast Range which presents a steep face to the west. -
