The aboriginal name given by (previous Royal Navy Captain) David Collins who in 1788 was appointed by Governor Phillip as Secretary to the Governor (often referred to as Secretary to the Colony), and became the new colony's first Judge Advocate. In 1803 Collins established the first settlement at Port Phillip which he was dissatisfied with, and after approval by Governor King, established the first colony on the Derwent River in 1804 (at Hobart).

As noted by Captain Cook in his journal "... their features were far from being disagreeable. ... Most of them had their hair and beards smeared with a red ointment, and some also had their faces painted with the same composition." 

Baudin died on the return voyage to France in 1803. Peron prepared the journals of maps and historical views for publication. It was one of the finest publications ever issued on early Australia. The detailed illustrations were produced by artist Charles-Alexandre Lesueur (1778-1846) (who assumed duties as naturalist after the death of expedition zoologist René Maugé) and Nicolas-Martin Petit official artists on the voyage, printed by Langlois and published by J. Hilbert in 1807.
