In 1795, not long after their arrival in Sydney, Bass and Flinders set out in Bass' small boat the Tom Thumb to explore the Georges River (which empties into botany Bay.)
Bass and Flinders' first expedition was when they set out to explore the Georges River, the mouth of which is in Botany Bay, doing so in 1795.
George Bass, together with Matthew Flinders explored and charted much of the coastline south of Sydney in the early days of the New South Wales colony, adding valuable information to charts of the Australian coastline. In 1798, Bass explored along the southern coast of what would later become the colony of Victoria. His journeys led him to the belief that Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) was separate from the mainland. Governor Hunter wished for this theory to be proven conclusively, so he commissioned Flinders and Bass to circumnavigate Van Diemen's Land.

In 1798, Bass explored along the southern coast of what would later become the colony of Victoria. His journeys led him to the belief that Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) was separate from the mainland. Governor Hunter wished for this theory to be proven conclusively, so he commissioned Flinders and Bass to circumnavigate Van Diemen's Land. The two men set out at dawn in the 'Norfolk' on 7 October 1798. Three months later, on 7 January 1799, they were back at Cape Barren Island, having completed their first circumnavigation of Van Diemen's Land.
