No.
Charles Sturt explored the western river systems (Murrumbidgee --> Murray --> Lake Alexandrina) and tried to find the non-existent inland sea.
In 1798, Bass and Flinders circumnavigated Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) in the Norfolk, which was the first boat to be constructed in the colony (by the convicts of Norfolk Island, and hence the name). Their 2.5m dingy was called the Tom Thumbwhich they used to explore the coastline south of Sydney. Flinders was kind enough to name the strait between the mainland and Tasmania after his companion, i.e. Bass Strait...
Charles Sturt was born in 1795... A little young to come along for the ride...
