Van Diemen's Land Revealed
In 1798–99, Matthew Flinders and George Bass sailed the colonial sloop Norfolk around the island that would become Tasmania, proving for the first time that it was indeed an island, separate from the Australian mainland — the discovery that gave Bass Strait its name. Dan Sprod tells the story of this landmark voyage of exploration, in which Flinders was accompanied by his famous ship's cat, Trim.
