Sent by the French government in 1800, with orders to complete the survey of the coasts of Australia, Baudin employed Péron as a naturalist and Freycinet as cartographer. The expedition reached Van Dieman`s Land in 1802 which they surveyed before sailing for Sydney where they spent six months. The expedition then surveyed the entire southern coast of Australia before returning to Mauritius where Baudin died in late 1803. As Péron died before publication was complete the work was finished by Freycinet. Ferguson 449; 536 and 603; Hill, pp.229-230.
