Lieutenant Henri de Freycinet is said to have remarked to Matthew Flinders that his expedition would have beaten Flinders to the south coast if only they had not spent so much time picking up shells and catching butterflies at Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania).
The two men were Peron and Louis de Freycinet who, it seems, spent much of their time spying out the land and gave French authorities details of how best to attack the colony.
Leschenault was later left behind at Timor in 1803 when he became ill, but he returned to France in 1807.
