Ep 70 Bass & Flinders Pt1: Australian History

Naval men who arrived in NSW in September 1795, Bass & Flinders were both intent on undertaking exploration and charting sections of New Holland, still largely unknown to the British. They became well known as navigators, explorers and map makers, charting the Australian coasts and enhancing the then limited knowledge of the new colony. In this Part 1 episode we take a look at the backgrounds of both men to understand what brought them to NSW.
