Andy Macqueen - French Explorer Francis Barrallier
A Frenchman Goes Exploring
The only serious attempt to cross the Blue Mountains was made in 1802 by French refugee Francis Barrallier. He failed, but left a wonderful account. Despite his bright prospects Barrallier fell victim to the feuding between his fellow Rum Corps officers and Governor King. Barrallier's talents were instead used in the West Indies! In discussing his latest book "The Frenchman: Francis Barrallier's Life & Journeys 1773-1853 Andy Macqueen will argue that Barrallier's French origins and associations influenced his undertakings in the colony. In discussing his understanding of Aboriginal people and their rights and Andy will question whether Barrallier's differed from those of his European masters. Andy Macqueen is a respected Blue Mountains historian and committed conservationist and has been awarded an OAM for his work in this field. He has produced 6 history books and many articles on colonial exploration, first contact, surveying and conservation history. His latest book "The Frenchman" is a major overhaul of an earlier book with new content and fresh perspectives |
