Prior to 1798, it was unknown if Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was joined to the mainland of Australia, or if it was an island.In 1797 George Bass made an expedition to the south coast of Australia, reaching as far as Westernport. His observations indicated the strong possibility that there was a strait between the mainland and Tasmania.In 1798, Governor Hunter in Sydney commissioned Matthew Flinders and George Bass to return to Tasmania in the sloop Norfolkand attempt the first detailed survey of Tasmania, and hopefully to circumnavigate it.The voyage was a success and proved both that Tasmania was an island, and the existence of the strait - which was subsequently named for Bass.This knowledge had the added benefit that a ship using Bass Strait rather than sailing under the southern tip of Tasmania could cut a week off the journey time between Europe and Sydney.
