Groundbreaking! France was a leading centre of the Enlightenment which exalted empirically gathered knowledge of nature in all its manifestations and the use of reason to better understand and improve the universe. As the hallmarks of civilised society, these ideals shaped exploration, replacing at least in part both commercial and political motivations. The publication by the Philosophe Charles de Brosses of a two-volume book, Histoire des navigations aux Terres Australes, in 1756 - summarising all thus far discovered about the southern seas, including the explorations by Abel Tasman and William Dampier - fuelled scienti c and expansionist endeavour and was probably decisive in Louis XV's decision to support an exploratory expedition.1 Rivalry between England and France cannot be dismissed as a contributing motivation, spurred on by news of Captain James Cook's 'discovery' of the east coast of Australia in 1770. Beginning with Louis XV, French rulers pursued a policy of exploration of 'Terre Australe' that focused as much on scienti c study of the land and its inhabitants as on charting its coastline. Louis XVI (1754-1793), who ascended to the throne at his grandfather's death in 1775, was a keen geographer, an avid reader of the accounts of Captain Cook's voyages and a determined rival of Britain's maritime supremacy. In 1785, he commissioned Jean-François de Galaup, Comte de La Pérouse (1741-1788), to circumnavigate the Paci c - an undertaking for which public enthusiasm ran high. While Australia had always been intended as the nal stop of La Pérouse's itinerary, Louis XVI was made anxious by news of the departure from England of Arthur Phillip with the rst prisoners destined to colonise Botany Bay. La Pérouse was then asked by dispatch to proceed there in all haste. He sailed into Botany Bay on 26 January 1788, only days after Phillip and the First Fleet had arrived there to establish the first European colony in Australia. Ref HH 2.
