A Voyage to Terra Australis — Volume 1 Undertaken for the purpose of completing the discovery of that vast country, and prosecuted in the years 1801, 1802 and 1803, in His Majesty's ship the Investigator, and subsequently in the armed vessel Porpoise and Cumberland schooner
"A Voyage to Terra Australis — Volume 1" by Matthew Flinders is a sea voyage journal published in 1814. It chronicles Flinders' historic circumnavigation of Australia aboard HMS Investigator from 1801 to 1803, proving for the first time that Australia was a single continent. The work details unknown coastlines with maps and drawings, and recounts his subsequent six-year imprisonment by the French on Mauritius. Flinders died the day after publication, leaving behind this essential record of early Australian exploration.
