	The Biography of Early Australia
		Phillip (q.v.) on H.M.S. Europe, and in 1787 was second lieutenant on the Sirius and arrived at Port Jackson in January 1788.
		King's recall was probably due to Macarthur having been able to give his version of the trouble with the officers, while King had no opportunity of saying anything in rebuttal.
		King showed sound administrative powers both at Norfolk Island and at Sydney, but though a stronger man than Hunter he was not strong enough to cope with the military officers, who were determined to maintain their vested interests.

		This biography recounts the adventures of Phillip Parker King, a marine surveyor who completed a series of grueling voyages between 1817 and 1822 up the northwest coast of Australia.
		His journeys brought him to King George Sound and Van Diemen's Land as well as the treacherous waters of the Great Barrier Reef, places which serve as the backdrop to his encounters with shoals and tides, reefs and wildlife, and Aboriginal peoples.
		Written through the observant lens of a sailor, this work considers whether King's faithful service and unscandalous lifestyle have contributed to his relative obscurity in modern scholarship.

		Leave King George the Third's Sound, and commence the survey of the West Coast at Rottnest Island.
		In the mean time the Mermaid, our late vessel, had been thoroughly repaired, fresh fastened with copper spikes, and fitted out; and, before we sailed, had been sent to sea to carry the first establishment to Port Macquarie, on which service she had been wrecked.
		As the wind now blew constantly from the South-West, or from some southern direction, and caused our progress to be very slow and tedious; and as the shore for some distance to the southward of Cape Latouche-Treville had been partly seen by the French, I resolved upon leaving the coast.

	World Adventurer \| Bold buccaneers, king tides and ancient mysteries
		Named by Phillip Parker King in 1820 in memory of William Dampier, a supposed buccaneer and early de-facto explorer who visited the sound in early 1688, the region is known to have been visited by early Dutch mariners who strayed south whilst travelling to Batavia (Jakarta) in present-day Indonesia.
		One, Dirk Hartog, is generally believed to be the first European to sight the land in 1616 - hence the title of New Holland that persisted until the early 19th Century.
		Among the more outlandish additions to this intriguing history, researcher and author Jonathan Gray, believes the wreck of a Phoenician ship lies around the entrance to King Sound, a relic of a time, he claims, when these ancient mariners plied Australian waters exploiting our mineral resources, trading and even intermarrying with the Aboriginals.
