After serving with Austrian army during Napoleonic wars, he settled in Vienna in 1824 and established a botanic garden. Between 1831 and 1836 he travelled the world. Part of this journey was spent in India (particularly Kashmir), the resultant publications garnering for him accolades and the Royal Geographical Society's Patron's Medal. From November 1833 to January 1834 he was in the Swan River Colony and at King George Sound, Western Australia, where he made significant collections of the local flora. These specimens were described in the works of Stephan Endlicher, and largely remained in European repositories. For most of the rest of 1834 he visited Tasmania and New South Wales. While in Sydney he was welcomed into the local scientific community, particularly by the Macleay family. Von Hügel received recognition for his role in the introduction of Australian plants to Europe. The journal of his visit to the Australian colonies remained unpublished until 1994. After his return to Vienna he had cause to rejoin the Austrian army and from 1850 to 1867 was Austrian Ambassador in several European countries. 27 November 1833 19 December 1833 Life event - At Swan River Colony, Western Australia 1 January 1834 11 January 1834 Life event - At King George Sound, Western Australia 21 January 1834 8 February 1834 Life event - In Tasmania 14 February 1834 25 February 1834 Life event - In New South Wales 16 April 1834 6 October 1834 Life event - In New South Wales 1837 1848 Career position - Founder and President K.K.
