[Review Essay] A Steady Hand : Governor Hunter and His First Fleet Sketchbook Robert Haworth , 2013 single work essay
— Appears in: Journal of Australian Colonial History , no. 15 2013; (p. 243-244)

'Where have all the brolgas gone? John Hunter, intrepid Scottish seafarer and sometime governor of the infant colony of New South Wales, recorded these majestic 'native companions' as if they were regular denizens of early Sydney. Which they were, along with much else in the natural world that has been lost. We only know about them because the many-talented Hunter kept a comprehensive sketch book of the fauna and flora of early Sydney, Norfolk Island and surrounds.' (Introduction)
