Yes. The explorations and journeys made by Matthew Flinders were very important, and he was a significant figure in Australia's history. Flinders's main voyage circumnavigated the entire continent and charted the Australian coastline,filling in the gaps left by previous English and Dutch explorers. It was very important for improving the knowledge of the Australian continent. It was also important because, while charting the southern coastline, Flinders became the first to put forward the possibility of establishing a settlement on the southern coast.
