The Flinders Ranges are named after Matthew Flinders, the explorer who first circumnavigated the Australian continent. He was the first to make detailed records and observations as he charted the coastline, particularly the relatively unknown southern coastline.

Did Matthew Flinders discover Coochiemudlo Island?

Matthew Flinders was the first European to discover Coochiemudlo Island, in Moreton Bay. Captain Cook had previously sailed past the Bay, not realising it was there. Flinders did not name Coochiemudlo, the name for which was taken from the aboriginal word meaning "red earth". Coochie was merely noted as "island number 6" in Flinders' logs, the previous five being Mud, St. Helena, Green, King and Peel, also in Moreton Bay. Flinders landed on Coochie on 19 July 1799, an event that is re-enacted every year on the island.
