Matthew Flinders was the one who circumnavigated the entire continent of Australia, discovering and naming many inlets, bays, rivers and land features along the way. In particular, he detailed the southern coastline more so than any previous sea explorer.

Together with George Bass, he also determined that Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was an island, and not joined to the mainland.
