As did every Captain of his time, Matthew Flinders wrote detailed logs and journals of his voyages, and his circumnavigation of Australia in 1802-03 was no exception.

The State Library of New South Wales has produced a wonderful website on Matthew Flinders, as part of their Matthew Flinders' Collection, including a section which displays Flinders' journals in full. Please access this site to find out more on Matthew Flinders' experiences during the first circumnavigation of Australia.
