The Man Who Named Australia - Matthew Flinders

Captain Matthew Flinders RN is credited with naming Australia. He is also the first man to have circumnavigated the continent with the help of Aboriginal leader Bungaree and the crew of HM sloop Investigator. His book A Voyage to Terra Australis describes his travels around the great southern land mass, complete with maps and charts. In January 2019, archaeologists excavating a site just behind London’s Euston Station discovered Flinders’ coffin and his remains. It was a ground-breaking discovery that offered scientists the opportunity to learn more about this extraordinary man and his life. This week we take a look at the life and times of this illustrious naval explorer, a man who will go down in history as one of the world’s greatest explorers.

Fantastic. Thank you for this. We need more of this kind of stuff.

Yes, he is credited for naming Australia, but ultimately it was merely a named derived from the earlier " Terra Australis". And as an Englishman he certainly didn't want it refered to as New Holland. His main reason for being in the history books is his leading of the expedition which first navigated the continent. A great feat for those brave men way back in 1802-3.

I greatly respect and admire Matthew Flinders - not just because he was famous, but simply because he loved cats.

Thanks for a great production.

[@TheIncredibleJourney]

Glad you enjoyed it!

As a born and bred Melburnian, and still resident in Melbourne 78 years later I have always revered Flinders as one of the most influential explorers in the settlement of south eastern Australia by Europeans. There is a famous statue of him outside St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne which just happens to be on the corner of Flinders Street and Swanston Street, probably the busiest corner in Melbourne. This was a story well told in this video. It's a pity that it was spoilt by several minutes of proselytising at the end.

@@TheIncredibleJourney some say when the pope divided the world in two, (treaty of Zaragoza/ treaty of Tortisilaa) the spanish got qld nsw victoria. tas. and everything west of there sa nt and wa went to the portuguese .. the original name was “Australia del Espiritu Santo” Australia of the holy spirit …. the demarcation line is still visible today.. it divides papua-west papua too . england was quarreling with the Dutch too.. a lot of the discoveries were top secret.. there may have been some cover ups.. the mysterious mahogany ship at warnembul for example . it definitely makes for an interesting story.

BEAUTIFUL HISTORY 😍

[@simmo8539]

Fantastic. I am continually amazed how through the passage of time grave sites can be forgotten, 1814 isn’t that long ago.

[@FlameLegend100]

Great adventure story 😁👍.

[@lewisflinders2519]

Brilliant watch, I came across this as it transpires I'm a direct descendant of him.

A small point of correction, when Flinders sailed to Capetown to purchase animals for the colony, they did not sail west, they went down into the Southern Ocean below New Zealand and sailed east using the winds to have a downwind run to Capetown.

Together with George Bass, he travelled, in the sloop Norfolk, circumnavigated Van Diemen's Land, modern day Tasmania. In the course of this voyage, Bass visited the estuary of the Derwent River, found and named by Captain John Hayes in 1793, where the city of Hobart would be founded on the strength of his report in 1803. When the two returned to Sydney, Flinders recommended to Governor John Hunter that the passage between Van Diemen's Land and the mainland be called Bass Strait.

my whole class watch this we went to the marintain museum

[@marcellindsay]

He spent - years in Mauritius in the early 1800's. It is there that he gave Australia its name? it was previously called Terra Australis.

Thank you for the feedback. This has been noted. Blessings

[@mongsmcmonagle]

Great doco. Except for the religious brainwashing at the end.

[@nguyenanhtuan1196]

Brainwashed people like Flinders or Columbus had the gut to do what they did.

[@jimbrown5268]
