Captain James Cook Endeavour Journal. 4. The Charting of Australia Matthew Flinders. 5. The Discovery of Port Phillip Bay Victoria. Australia, and its early settlement.
I guess the gap in the Early Explorers of Australia are the French. I did actually start some time ago looking at them, names like Nicolas Baudin, Bouganville, La Perouse, and Antoine Raymond Joseph de Bruni D'Entrecasteaux. I had a first page done, then as often happens with me off I went on another tack, you have alerted me to the need to revisit those French navigators, thanks. But I guess it all measures up to extra work for you in due course Terry! Good luck with your tax return but I think you are at the absolute deadline for that, or so I read somewhere today on the net. Don't be late now. All the best, >TK, Under Links: A site about a Dutch Submarine. Hr Ms Potvis 804. is OK, but the last message ( the one that follows Kind does not belong here and should be deleted. 3.

We are always pleased to be linked to from another site interested in >Submarines, and will add a link to your site. You are right, I have nothing about the Dutch Submarine service in WW2, other than a casual reference to them in the Pacific war. I must study your content, then, with your approval I will use some of your details to remedy that situation. Thanks again, and with kind regards, Mac. You two are a great team. >The look&feel + contents is outstanding ! I have created a button in my browser so I can easily check your log for updates.
