Decades before the First Fleet, French ships were exploring large stretches of Australia.

This handsomely colour-illustrated book tells the story of intrepid French explorers who charted and named many regions, laid claim to the West Coast and, but for upheavals back in Europe, could have established a French colony in Australia. (Trove)
