George Caley , born the June 10th 1770 with Craven (Yorkshire) and dead the May 23rd 1829, is a Botaniste and a British Explorateur . Caley was employed by Joseph Banks to collect samples botany in the area around Sydney in Australia.
Wire of a merchant of horses, it receives an education at the private school of grammar to Manchester before working in the cattle sheds of his father. In March 1795, it writes in Sir Joseph Banks which advises to him, to supplement the thin wages of botanist to work as gardener, occupation enabling him moreover to increase its knowledge. Thus it finds a work with the Botanical garden Kew Gardens which charges it with leaving for Australia in order to collect new specimens there. It arrives at Sydney on April 15th, 1800. Banks gives him wages as collecting botanist and as well as vivres. Caley sends many objects of natural history and botanical specimens. Its correspondence makes it possible Banks to keep up to date with the life with the colony. It also provides a report/ratio on the development of the troops of bovines which are turned over at the wild state. In August 1808, Banks offers to Caley an annual salary of 50 books.
Caley turns over to the the United Kingdom in 1810 and becomes, six years later, person in charge of the botanical garden in the island of Saint-Vincent. He resigns of this station in December 1822 and goes back to the United Kingdom to May.
