They had been given secret orders to report on the defense capabilities of British settlement. Bougainville &amp his officers traveled as far afield as possible. The grandeur of the Blue Mountains was so much admired by the French artists, that they declaimed it exceeded everything they had seen during their whole of their expedition.
