Follow the journey of English ornithologist John and his wife Elizabeth as they travelled across New South Wales in the 1800s on one of the most significant birding expeditions in history. The expedition has helped inform the current knowledge and conservation of birds. The astonishing record of observation and hard work comes to life in this display that explores the significance of birds and their role in connecting to the country.
