Matthew Flinders came to Australia initially as a young Midshipman with Captain William Bligh in the "Providence", in 1792. There was only one place to land in Australia at that time, and that was Sydney, at Port Jackson.
This question mixes up two different events in Australian seafaring history.Matthew Flinders sailed with Captain William Bligh on the Providence prior to coming to Australia.Captain William Blight was captain of the Bounty when the crew mutinied. Flinders had nothing to do with this event.
Matthew Flinders's first seafaring expedition was when he accompanied William Bligh on his second voyage to Tahiti in 1791. He was 17 at the time, and had only been in the Royal Navy for 2 years. His first journey for the purposes of exploration was in 1796 when, accompanied by George Bass, Flinders first explored Botany Bay and the coastline south of Sydney in an 8-foot open boat, the Tom Thumb.
Matthew Flinders accompanied Captain William Bligh on his first journey. On some of his later voyages, he was accompanied by fellow sea-explorer George Bass. On his circumnavigation of Australia he was accompanied by his younger brother Lt. Samuel Flinders and the ship's artist William Westall. Flinders also made mention in his journals of a number of crew members who fell sick and died, usually of dysentery-related causes, during the circumnavigation of Australia. These included James Greenhalgh, sergeant of marines; quarter-master John Draper; seaman Thomas Smith; and botanist Peter Good. Flinders also had a cat named Trim, a faithful companion on many voyages.
Matthew Flinders was an Eighteen year old Midshipman when he set sail from England with Captain William Bligh in the "Providence", in 1792. He sailed to Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania). He then left England (again) for New South Wales in the "Reliance", in 1795.
Matthew Flinders first came to Australia in 1791 with Captain Bligh aboard the ship Providence, where he came across part of the southeast coast of Tasmania. He learnt a great many of his sailing skills under Bligh's tutelage.
Matthew William was born in 1976.
A tutor is a teacher - so "later became (should be came not became) under the tutelage of William...." means "later he studied under William Flinders Petrie"
