Abstract
The year 2014 marks the bicentenary of the birth of Sir James Paget (1814–1899), the celebrated English surgeon and pathologist. Although best known for his work on bone and breast disease, Paget also played an important role in the institution of Australia’s first medical school. In this article, that involvement and Paget’s other antipodean influences are summarised. The naming of Paget’s disease of the bone is also discussed.
