There has been an interesting development in the who discovered Australia…who
Matthew Flinders remains discovered in London
The main reason this is so intersting is because our current Prime Minister #ScoMo is apparently wanting to put money ($6.7 million) towards a replica of Captain Cooks boat. Part of the reason (other than spending money on a replica boat) While Captain Cook charted the east coast, he did not circumnavigate Australia. Matthew Flinders was the first to sail around the country between 1801 and 1803.
Maybe the U.K. should build the Captain Cook replica boat. We don’t do an awful lot about him. Does seem a strange choice.

I think it is too. I assume it’s because our PM think Cook’s name is cooler…Maybe?lol
