Matthew Flinders arrived in Australia in the 1790s and commenced exploring and charting the coast of the continent. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Flinders charted the entire coastline of Australia. Australia was previously known as New Holland, and Flinders first proposed the name "Terra Australis", which became "Australia", the name adopted in 1824. Flinders was also famous for his cat "Trim", who accompanied him on his voyages between 1799 and 1804.
