He was a regular diarist, published on natural history subjects and was a keen collector of specimens of Tasmanian animals and plants for study in England. Lempriere set up a tide gauge, cut into rock, near Port Arthur in Tasmania. The gauge is still in existence and is believed to be the oldest in the southern hemisphere. The discovery of records of his measurements from the 1840s has shown that the sea has risen about 13.5cm since that time. Colony of Van Diemen's Land (1803 - 1855) 1846 1849
