Description

The Explorers’ First Sightings theme celebrates George Stubbs’ 1772 painting of a kangaroo. When Joseph Banks returned to England after Captain Cook’s first Pacific voyage in 1771, little did he know he was carrying what was to become an iconic representation of our great land. He brought with him a kangaroo specimen, and commissioned a painting of the intriguing animal by artist George Stubbs. The kangaroo has been synonymous with Australia ever since.
