14.01.2022 On this day, 7th October 1798, sea explorers Flinders and Bass set out to prove that Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) is an island. Matthew Flinders and George Bass were early sea explorers who charted sections of Australia's coastline, adding valuable information to the current charts. In 1798, Bass explored along the southern coast of what would later become the colony of Victoria. His journeys led him to the belief that Van Diemen's Land (later Tasmania) was separate from the ...mainland. Governor Hunter wished for this theory to be proven conclusively, so he commissioned Flinders and Bass to circumnavigate Van Diemen's Land. The two men set out at dawn on 7 October 1798. By January of the following year, they had completed their circumnavigation of the island. Governor Hunter subsequently named the stretch of water between the mainland and Van Diemen's Land as "Bass's Strait", later to be known as the Bass Strait.

12.01.2022 On this day, 25th December 1826, British occupation of Western Australia begins. The British occupation of King George's Sound, the first settlement in Western Australia, did not begin until 1826. At that time, the western third of Australia was unclaimed by any country, and there were fears that France would stake its claim. To prevent this, Governor Darling of New South Wales sent Major Edmund Lockyer, with troops and 23 convicts, to establish a settlement at King George Sound. They arrived in the brig 'Amity' on Christmas Day, 25 December 1826. Lockyer initially named the site Fredericks town after His Royal Highness, Duke of York & Albany, Frederick Augustus second son of King George III. https://bit.ly/3mLpM9L
11.01.2022 On this day, 17th August 1813, Matthew Flinders writes to Sir Joseph Banks, outlining his reasons for suggesting New Holland be called Australia after Banks disapproves of the name. Australia was previously named New Holland by the Dutch sea explorers who landed on the western coast in the early 1600s. James Cook claimed the eastern coast of the continent for England in 1770, naming it New South Wales. After the First Fleet arrived in 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip was given or...ders to extend the claim further west. The western half of the continent continued to be known as New Holland, and the eastern half was New South Wales. Matthew Flinders arrived in Australia on the Reliance in 1795. Between 1801 and 1803, Flinders circumnavigated the Australian continent, completing the charting of the coastline and proving that ‘Terra Australis’ was not split into two large islands, a theory he held prior to his voyage. Flinders returned to England in 1810, and shortly thereafter wrote an account of his expeditions, "A Voyage to Terra Australis". It was in this account that Flinders proposed the name "Terra Australis" or Australia be adopted for the southern continent. However, while some in England approved of the name Flinders had selected, wealthy sponsor Sir Joseph Banks did not support his proposal. A letter from Matthew Flinders to Joseph Banks, dated 17 August 1813, stated I will not disguise, that my chagrin was no less, to learn that the term Terra Australis, as a name for New Holland and New South Wales collectively was not approved. The letter went on to explain in detail Flinders’ reasons for proposing the name of Australia. Ultimately, it was Governor Lachlan Macquarie who, impressed by Flinders’ arguments, advocated that the name ‘Australia’ be adopted. shorturl.at/wzUX5
