Hunter first sailed to Port Jackson as second-in-command of the "Sirius" with the First Fleet in 1788 and succeeded Phillip as Governor of New South Wales. As an experienced navigator he encouraged the exploration of the Australian coastline, and the early discoveries of Flinders and Bass owe much to him. At the end of 1788 he made a remarkable 6-month circumnavigation eastward from Port Jackson to collect a shipment of supplies from Cape Town and from which he continued east back to Port Jackson. Hunter, like Phillip in his account of Port Jackson, notes the arrival of La Perouse shortly before his disappearance in the Pacific. Ferguson 152; Hill 857; Kroepelien 620. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.
