No. Matthew Flinders did not undergo any exploration in Australia's interior. The Macquarie, Darling and Marray Rivers were unknown in Flinders' time. The Macquarie River was discovered in 1813 by explorer and surveyor George Evans, the Darling River was discovered by Captain Charles Sturt in 1829, and the Murray River was first discovered by Hume and Hovell in 1824, who named it the Hume River. It was "rediscovered" by Sturt in 1830 and named the Murray after a statesman in England.
