More about the book

Matthew Flinders' expedition in 1801 to survey the coast of New Holland turned into a decade-long adventure. Advocating for the term 'Australia,' he became synonymous with its adoption. His meticulous surveys and maps, alongside observations on shipboard life, flora, fauna, and indigenous customs, provide a rich historical account. Volume 1 begins with a review of earlier exploratory voyages before detailing the initial leg of his journey from Portsmouth to Port Jackson (Sydney).
