More than 250 years after the HMB Endeavour’s voyage to Australian shores, an exhibition of contemporary botanical artwork at Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre is highlighting the contribution the scientists and artists on this voyage made to documenting Australia’s biodiversity.
Scientists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander, together with illustrator Sydney Parkinson, collected more than 1,000 species of plants and animals during their 70-day journey along the east coast of Australia in 1770.
