Page 202 Glynis Ridley Queenâs University, Belfast To the naturalist who proudly sent the ï¬rst stuï¬ed duckbilled platypus from Australia to Europe, Australia was wondrously exotic: to George Shaw of the British Museum, the creature seemed at ï¬rst too strange to be possible and he initially suspected a hoax.1 Where Joseph Banks saw a wealth of botanic knowledge in a bay that would be named after that fact, and Captain Cookâs Endeavour log represented the area favorably, Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet, saw only the impossibility of settlement.2 And where the ï¬rst transported convicts saw a living incarceration, their jailers saw opportunities for preferment of various degrees. Clearly, what the naturalist, ï¬eet commander, and penitential oï¬cer saw was shaped by very diï¬erent agendas. One manâs exotic ï¬ora and fauna translates into another manâs incomprehension as to what he should eat. Between eighteenth-century naturalistsâ fascination at Australiaâs exoticism and convictsâ resentment of it there was at least agreement that this land was unlike any other; yet for every written account and artistic representation predicated on diï¬erence it is possible to ï¬nd another that seeks to deny that Australia is in any way diï¬erent to anything else then
