The grave & body of British explorer Captain Matthew Flinders, the first person to circumnavigate Australia, has been discovered after 200 years near London’s Euston station.

Australia has more statues of Matthew Flinders than of any other man yet most Australians know little of the explorer who gave us our name.

Michael enlists the help of David Hunt, historian & author of ‘Girt - The Unauthorised History of Australia’ to shed some well-deserved light on this remarkable man.
