A major article by Valerie Lhuedé on Francis Barrallier, a protégé of Governor Philip King and more importantly a man of many talents, whose three years in the Colony were extraordinarily productive. The author is the grand-daughter of a Breton sailor and an architect by profession. She part-owns and has a passionate interest in the old silver-mining village of Yerranderie in the area of the Blue Mountains first explored by Barrallier.
