Fly. His fellow naturalist on board was John MacGillivray. Francis Blackwood, in command of Fly, had orders to survey of a safe passage through the Great Barrier Reef. Much of the Reef was charted, as were parts of the southeast coast of New Guinea. Jukes, an astute observer, published his Narrative of the surveying voyage of H.M.S. Fly, in 1846: the chapter on the Reef is considered an early classic in Australian geology. His other significant contributions in this field include A sketch of the physical structure of Australia (1850). While in Sydney during the voyage, Jukes made geological forays into the country surrounding Sydney with William Branwhite Clarke, later lending support to Clarke's conclusions as to the age of Australia's coal fields. On returning to the United Kingdom, Jukes was a surveyor with the Geological Survey of Great Britain before holding office for 19 years as director of the Geological Survey of Ireland. 1836 1836 Education - Bachelor of Arts (BA), University of Cambridge 1839 1840 Career position - Geological surveyor, Newfoundland, Canada 1842 1845 Career position - Naturalist and geologist on board H.M.S.
