"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.
