Description
"In 1824 the British landed in northern Australia, ready to defend it against the French or the Dutch. They found a hard country, ungiving and unforgiving. The settlers built a fort and a settlement they named Fort Dundas, after the First Lord of the Admiralty. This report uses GIS to examine the defence network set up at Fort Dundas. The project found that, although the [sic] Fort Dundas eventually failed, the artillery strategy proved effective in the settlement's defence." -- Abstract.,
