"In 1790, a stuborn sixteen-year-old defied his father and went to sea. Here began the remarkable career of Matthew Flinders, a career that ended in his forty-first year, just days after publication of his life's work, 'A voyage to Terra Australis' and its accompanying atlas. Before Flinders, travellers wondered whether a continent, two islands or perhaps even an archipelago occupied these uncharted waters, All this changed with Flinders's epic voyage of circumnavigation. This is a detailed account of tragedy and short-lived triumph, of exile on an enemy island and love thwarted, of a painful early death. It is also the story of a man who left an indelible mark on a continent and a nation."@en . "Matthew Flinders"@en . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Biography" . "Biography"@en . . .

"Biography of Matthew Flinders (English, 1774-1814) one of the most accomplished navigators and chartmakers of any age, inextricably linked to the early exploration of Australia. In 1798 he circumnavigated Tasmania, thus proving it to be an island. From 1801 to 1803 he circumnavigated mainland Australia in HMS Investigator."@en . . . . . . "Electronic books"@en . . . .
