Summary
Will Matthew Flinders find fame and fortune? This intrepid explorer circumnavigated and charted the coast of Australia in 1801 accompanied by his mischievous but faithful cat, Trim. Faced with a leaking ship, stormy seas, sickness and an unknown land, they overcame every obstacle, until they were shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef. Their adventures don't stop there. After surviving the shipwreck they sail to Mauritius where they are imprisoned by the French as spies. What will become of them?
