Bass Strait was named after sea explorer George Bass. In 1797, Bass sought sponsorship from Governor Hunter to determine whether a navigable strait existed between Van Diemen's Land and the Australian continent. It was on this journey that Bass discovered the strait that is now named after him. His journey was made between December 1797 and late February 1798.
