Matthew Flinders was an English navigator and cartographer who played a significant role in the exploration of Australia during the early 19th century. In his adulthood, he is best known for leading the first circumnavigation of Australia, which he accomplished between 1801 and 1803, resulting in detailed maps of the coastline. Flinders also contributed to the understanding of Australia's geography and was the first to propose the name "Australia" for the continent. His achievements were pivotal in advancing maritime navigation and exploration during that era.
