John Washington Price was the surgeon of the transport Minerva which sailed from Cork for Sydney in 1799 carrying two hundred convicts. Many of them United Irishmen transported for their role in the 1798 rebellion. During the voyage price received lessons in drawing and natural history from fellow-traveller, the artist John William Lewin, and a highlight of the journal is the inclusion of Price's twenty-nine watercolour illustrations. In Sydney, where he stayed for a month, Price was a frequent visitor to Government House. He met such leading figures as Bennelong, Dr Balmain, D'Arcy Wentworth, George Barrington and Reverend Samuel Marsden and his observations of town life contain a great deal previously unrecorded information.
