She was responsible for the exploration and charting of much of Australia's north-east coast and nearby islands. During the early to mid-1840s, she charted numerous routes through and from many locations around Australia's north-east coast and nearby islands, including Whitsunday Island and the Capricorn Islands in Queensland. During this part of her service she employed the painter and draughtsman Harden Sidney Melville to produce the first official hydrographic survey of the north-east coast of Australia. On 2 September 1844, she rescued the survivors of the British merchant ship Lady Grey, which had been wrecked on Alert's Reef the previous day with the loss of a passenger whilst on a voyage from Sydney, New South Wales to Singapore. After being discovered during the survey of the Gulf of Papua, New Guinea, the Fly River was named after the ship. Embarked during her voyages of exploration were the geologist and naturalist Joseph Jukes and the naturalist John MacGillivray.

Leather. Condition: Very Good. Mr Melville (illustrator). First edition. A lovely example of the first edition of this important exploration narrative. One of the earliest accounts of coastal Australia, this work is famed for its descriptions of the Great Barrier Reef. Written by Joseph Beete Jukes, a renowned geologist who served as the naturalist on the expedition referred to in these pages. This work is Jukes' own narrative of that voyage, which was commanded by Captain F P Blackwood. This was the first British expedition to be despatched to Australia on a surveying mission. Illustrated, with a frontispiece, nine plates, a folding chart of the Great Barrier Reef and fifteen vignettes to volume I. A frontispiece, eight plates, a map of the Eastern End of the Island of Java and three vignettes to volume II. Collated, these volumes have been bound without the publisher's adverts as is usual. Jukes notes that he originally sought for this work to be a complete journal of his voyage from 1842 to 1846. However he had 'no wish to repeat what might be already known, and no desire to re-describe scenes already familiar'. The purpose and results of the trip are explained in the extensive Appendix. With a detailed map of the north-east coast from Endeavour River north to New Guinea. This work has an entire chapter on the natural history of the Great Barrier Reef and his observations his observations align with Darwin's theory of the formation of coral reefs. A truly fascinating account by this noted naturalist regarding his ethnological observations and notes of natural history regarding the area. In a smart half calf binding.
