Almost a French Australia by Noelene Bloomfield - Australian Colonial History | Rodney's Relics
Discover how close Australia came to French colonisation. Noelene Bloomfield explores La Perouse and the 1780s events that shaped Australia's destiny.
Noelene Bloomfield's Almost a French Australia tells how close Australia was to being split between the French and English. Only a series of events in the 1780s prevented the French from consoliding their place in terra Australis. This book follows the explorers like La Perouse and explains why the French eventually withdrew from the race.
