Edmond Marie Marin la Meslee (1852-1893) was born in France. After a time in the French Navy, he sailed to Melbourne, where he became the secretary to the French consul-general for Australia, the Comte de Castelnau, F. Laporte.
Meslee accompanied Laporte to Sydney, Brisbane and Darling Downs. In 1879, he became a member of the Royal Society of New South Wales.
In 1882, Marin la Meslee returned to France, where he presented a paper to the Société de Géographie, Paris, and arranged for the publication of his L'Australie Nouvelle (1883) by E. Plon & Cie. It describes, in a lively style, his travels in the outback and his impressions of Australian life and society.
