The extinct volcano of Mount Gambier, around which the city of the same name is built, lies between Melbourne (Victoria) and Adelaide (South Australia). James Grant was a young lieutenant who went out on a survey voyage of the southern coast. He was ordered to claim in the King's name any large rivers and good pastureland, as long as he did so only with the consent of any native inhabitants who might be present. On 3 December 1800, Grant discovered and named Cape Northumberland. Beyond Cape Northumberland, he sighted Mount Gambier, naming it after Admiral Lord James Gambier, who had commanded the fleet at the Battle of Copenhagen.
