David Francisco

David Bras Francisco (22 February 1841 – 29 April 1888) was a member of the La Grange expedition of 1864, which searched for three men missing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.

In 1864, Francisco travelled to the north west of Western Australia on the Clarence Packet.

The primary charter of the Clarence Packet was to aid in the execution of the La Grange expedition in search of three missing men, Frederick Panter, James Harding and William Goldwyer.

His diary remains a valuable independent record of the expedition.

In 1867, Francisco became a foundation member of the Fremantle Town Council, serving until 1875.
