Bass Strait is the body of water which separates the island state of Tasmania from the mainland state of Victoria.Bass Strait is named after George Bass, the sea explorer who was certain that Van Diemen's land (as Tasmania was then called) was an island, and who sought permission and sponsorship from the Governor to prove this.Bass departed Sydney on 3 December 1797, to determine whether a navigable strait existed between Van Diemen's Land and the mainland. It was on this journey that Bass discovered the strait that is now named after him.
