They were only just beaten by Matthew Flinders. The French explorer Nicolas Baudin actually did map much of the island at pretyt much the same time as Flinders (which is evident to this day by looking at place names) and the two met around the corner in Encounter Bay and compared notes on their discoveries.
Nicolas Bay was born in 1977.
Joseph Bonaparte Gulf (not Bay) was named by French explorer and naturalist Nicholas Baudin in 1803.
The main island near Encounter Bay is Granite Island, a popular tourist destination near the town of Victor Harbour in South Australia.
