Australia - France Joint Issue

Flinders - Baudin Bicentenary

Domestic & International

Designers: Brian Sadgrove (Australia) Michel Bez (France) - Printer: SNP Ausprint

Artists:

Charles-Alexandre Leueur (1778-1846) a gunner that Baudin recruited for his artistic talents.

Ferdinand Bauer (1760-1826) Sir Joseph Banks recruited Bauer for the Investigator expedition in 1801.

This issue celebrates the Bicentenary of the meeting of these two explorers at Encounter Bay, near the South Australian Coast, on the 8th April 1802, although France & England were at war with each other at the time, these ships met as they carried safe conducts from both sides, so the encounter was by two explorers not two warring nations, between 1801 & 1803 these two explorers filled in most of the gaps in the current maps of New Holland (as Australia was known) at the time.

Sailing east on 8 April 1802, Finders on board the 'Investigator' sighted the French ship, the 'Geographe', sailing west, Flinders, with naturalist Robert Brown (acting as his interpreter) boarded the 'Geographe' and the two commanders exchanged information, Flinders named their meeting place Encounter Bay, they met again the following day with Baudin then continuing on west before returning to southern Van Dieman's Land, while Flinders sailed via King Island to a large bay he named Port Phillip, months later they again met at Port Jackson.

Baudin's voyage (the fifth by French explorers in Australian waters), produced the first comprehensive pictorial record of the shores & waters of the continent, his expedition also supplied the first comprehensive account of the indigenous people of Tasmania, along with drawings & paintings of the coastal regions, birds, animals & marine creatures.

Flinders achievements were also many, he was the first explorer to circumnavigate the continent, his maps were so detailed they were still in use almost two hundred years later, he was also the first cartographer to use the name 'Australia' for this continent.

The 45c stamp features a portrait of Nicolas Baudin, a painting of a Kangaroo by Charles-Alexandre Lesueur, the French map of Encounter Bay, the "Geographe' (taken from the expedition letterhead) & Baudin's signature.

The $1.50 stamp features a portrait of Matthew Flinders, a painting of the Port Lincoln Parrot (called the Australian Ringneck) by Ferdinand Bauer, Flinders map of Australia, the 'Investigator' & 'Geographe' against a map of Australia showing the routes of the two ships.

The 45c Gutter strips show five different images in the strip, Flinder's & Baudin's signatures, drawings of both ships, and the two flags (Australia & France) together, the .50 Gutter Strip is blank.
