The Story of Laperouse Tour
Join the Friends of Laperouse Museum as they lead a tour through the Museum and share the history of the famed French explorer Lapérouse and his ill-fated French expedition that landed here in 1788. François de Galaup, comte de Lapérouse, and his two ships reached Kamay Botany Bay a mere six days after the First Fleet in January 1788, and rested at the north side for six weeks after a long global voyage. Unlike the British, the French were not here to colonise Aboriginal land. They were mainly an expedition of the Enlightenment, to document, catalogue and map for France. When Lapérouse sailed out of Kamay Botany Bay in March of that year, however, he disappeared, never to be seen again.
