I am preparing a painting of the meeting between Laperouse (the French explorer and navigator) and the First Fleet at Botany Bay (Who founded the nation we know as Australia) , now on my urgent list.
My research is quite advanced however there are still questions to be answered.
I am really looking forward to networking with these people who have offered technical support with historical details.
Research to date has included 3 visits to the Musee Laperouse, one to the Musee Maritime National, Paris, one to H.M. Hydrographic Office, Taunton and much reading of books and the Internet.
And the photo above, the big river on the left is the Tarn, the mountains in the back ground are
the Black mountains.
Taken while en route to collect a friend from Hospital.
