Australia was previously known as New Holland, and Flinders first proposed the name "Terra Australis", which became "Australia", the name adopted in 1824.

Why was Matthew Flinders imprisoned?
After circumnavigating Australia, Flinders was returning to England when he was shipwrecked, in 1803. He sheltered with his crew (and his cat Trim) for two months in tents on islands. When some ships finally came to rescue Flinders, he chose to go aboard the small schooner Minikin rather than go aboard a larger, sturdier ship. The Minikin started to leak and Flinders was forced to take shelter on a French island, where he was taken for a spy. At that stage, Flinders was unaware that England and France were at war, and despite his protestations of innocence, the French insisted on detaining Flinders. The French kept Flinders prisoner for almost seven years.
When did matthew flinders go to jail?
In 1803 Flinders was returning to England with the work of his discoveries in Australia, but his ship was leaking badly and he needed emergency repairs. He put into the French-controlled island of Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean in late December 1803. He did not know that England and France were at war. Within a few days the French governor Decaen concluded that Flinders was a "spy", and Flinders was imprisoned on the island. He remained a prisoner of the French until June 1810, when British ships blockaded the island and forced his release.
