A VOYAGE TO 
[South Coasl. 
1802. Baudin had given me information ; they do not, however, lie exactly 
jsday "i3. m tne situation expressed in his memorandum, and are not more 
than two miles from the land. We called them Baudin' s Rocks; and 
since no name is applied to them in M. Peron's account of their 
voyage, the appellation is continued. 
Four miles beyond the rocks, is a point of moderate elevation ; 
sandy, but mostly overspread with bushes. This is their Cape Lannes; 
and on its north side is a small bay, called the Baye de Rivoli, with a 
sandy shore, and open to west winds. The bearings of these places, 
and our situation at noon, half an hour after tacking from Baudin's 
Rocks, were as under ; 
Latitude, observed to the north, - 37 0 7'i 
Longitude by time keepers, - - 139 41 
Cape Jaffa, extreme, - - N. 2 E. 
Baudin's Rocks, distant 3 miles, - N. 70 E. 
Rivoli Bay, about the middle, - S. 72 E. 
Cape Lannes, distant 4 or 5 miles, - S. 46 E. 
Furthest extreme of the coast, - S. 38 E. 
Wednes. 14. p or the last two days there had been a little current in our 
favour, and notwithstanding that the winds had been mostly adverse, 
we made some progress along the coast; but on opening out the 
land beyond Cape Lannes, the current took a northern direction, and 
at noon of this day we were no further advanced than to have that 
cape bearing N. 86° E. at the distance of nine or ten miles. The 
furthest part of the coast then visible was a peaked sandy hummock, 
bearing S. 68^° E. In the night, the wind came more off the land, 
and permitted us to make an advantageous tack to the southward; 
Thu«. is. and at noon next day, when we had reached in again with the coast, 
our situation was in 
Latitude observed, - - 37° *$j 
Longitude by time keepers, - 139 50 
Cape Lannes, west extreme, bore - N. 13 AY. 
The peaked sandy hummock, dist. 5 miles, N. 2 2 E.
