	Tench, Watkin (1758? - 1833) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		TENCH, WATKIN (1758?-1833), officer of marines and author, was born between May 1758 and May 1759 at Chester, England, the son of Fisher Tench and his wife Margaret (Margaritta).
		Tench was a keen explorer and much of his leisure was spent as a member or as leader of expeditions to the west and south-west of the settlement, discovering the Nepean River and tracing it to the Hawkesbury, and penetrating as far as the Razorback.
		Tench's claim to remembrance rests on the two books in which he described the voyage to and the early years of the settlement in New South Wales, at once the most perceptive and the most literary of the contemporary accounts.

	Letters From Revolutionary France (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Letters Written in France to a Friend in London is a vivid and astute first-hand account of the French Revolution as experienced by Major Watkin Tench, a Marine officer held prisoner in the town of Quimper, Brittany in 1794–95.
		Tench (1758–1833) had previously been a prisoner of the French in Maryland during the War of American Independence and had taken part in the founding of the New South Wales convict colony in 1788.
		Tench’s letters (from Quimper and from the French ships le Marat and le Normandie in Brest harbour) give a powerful sense of a country caught up in a process of rapid and unpredictable change at a time when counter-revolutionary uprisings in rural Brittany were being fuelled by differences in religion and language.

	The Explorers of Australia and their Life-work eBook
		In the month of June, 1789, Captain Watkin Tench, who, during his short sojourn in the infant colony showed himself as zealous in exploration as he was keen in his observations, started from the newly-formed redoubt at Rose Hill, of which he was in command, on a short excursion to examine the surrounding country.
		This river, at first known as the Tench, was afterwards named the Nepean by Phillip, when its identity as a tributary of the Hawkesbury had been confirmed.
		In May, 1791, Tench and Dawes started from Rose Hill and confirmed the supposition that the Nepean was an affluent of the Hawkesbury, a matter over which there had been some doubt since its first discovery by Tench.

	Barangaroo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In his first-hand account called A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson, First Fleet marine Watkin Tench described how Bennelong presented Barangaroo in October 1790 to the whites wearing a petticoat.
		Tench said at the request of Bennelong "we combed and cut her hair, and she seemed pleased with the operation".
		Tench was surprised to find "that amidst a horde of roaming savages in the desert wastes of NSW, might be found as much feminine innocence, softness, and modesty (allowing for inevitable difference of education), as the most finished system could bestow".

	THE BARNDOOR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		At the time the “First Fleet” left England in 1787, there were only a few types of fowl known by name.
		The common fowl of the day – the Barndoor (or Dunghill as it was also known) – was on the first fleet along with pure breeds of the day. Watkin Tench in his diary commented that “the possession of a spade, a wheelbarrow or a dunghill was more coveted than ” (other items).
