Description:

"This comprehensive biography of one of AustraliaÆs greatest explorers, Matthew Flinders, details everything from his first sight of Terra Australis at 17 to receiving command of HMS Investigator to explore and chart the entire Australian coast years later. Compellingly written, the biography follows FlindersÆs high adventure with obstacles including a rotting ship in the perilous, little-known labyrinth of the Barrier Reef, bouts of scurvy and dysentery, shipwreck and imprisonment, and a nine-year absence from a beloved wife."
