Flinders by award winning journalist, Grantlee Kieza tells the story of a fearless, sharp eyed, and handsome man who became one of the world’s most intrepid explorers. Flinders took to the sea at 16, swiftly climbing the ranks to fight a decisive battle during the French Revolutionary wars, sailed with William Bligh to Tahiti, and by 1801 was in command of an expedition to uncover the true nature of the great continent of the Southern Ocean. Flinders had a great love for the sea and was accompanied by his Aboriginal Interpreter and guide, Kuringgai man Bungaree, as well as his beloved cat, Trim. Flinders explored the coastline of Australia and left us meticulous charts of our continent. They are so accurate that they are still used today.
