Governor Hunter was the one who sponsored Bass to determine whether a navigable strait existed between Van Diemen's Land and the Australian continent. After Bass discovered the strait south of the Australian mainland, it was Governor Hunter who decided it should be named Bass's Strait, later becoming Bass Strait.
