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, but for upheavals back in Europe, could have established a French colony in Australia. (Trove)
