• ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY
  
  Daniel Bunce (1813-1872), botanist, made an intensive study of Aboriginal spoken language on a journey to Western Port in 1839. He joined Ludwig Leichhardt on his second attempt to cross Australia from east to west in 1846. Leaving the Darling Downs in December, they were back within six months, nearly dead from privation. After his return Bunce followed the course of the Murray River to the sea.
  
  Bunce's study of Aboriginal languages on his journeys in 1839 and 1846 led to the publication in Melbourne in 1851 of his 'Language of the Aborigines of the colony of Victoria and other Australian districts'.
