The only feature of much interest pertaining to the geographical work ofthe expedition in the region of the gulfs, is the high opinion formed byPeron of Port Lincoln--called Port Champagny on the Terre Napoleoncharts. The port has not played a large part in the subsequentdevelopment of Australia, but Flinders, who discovered it and named itafter the chief town of his native county, and the French of Baudin'sexpedition, who were the second people to enter it, thought very highlyof its beauty and... value. Peron spoke of it as a "magnificent port, " inwhich all the navies of Europe could float, and concluded two pages ofdescription with the words: "Worthy rival of Port Jackson, Port Lincolnis, in all respects, one of the finest in the world; and of all thosewhich we have discovered [yet they had not discovered a single port ofany kind!], whether to the south, the west, or the north of New Holland, it appears to be, I repeat, the best adapted to receive a Europeancolony. " After many years of settlement, Port Lincoln boasts of fewerthan a thousand inhabitants; for though the glowing language ofadmiration concerning its beauty and convenience written by Flinders andPeron were fully justified, a back country too arid to support a largepopulation has prevented it from attaining to great importance among theharbours of Australia.
