Encountering Terra Australis traces the parallel lives and voyages of the explorers' Flinders and Baudin, as they travelled to Australia and explored the coastline of mainland Australia and Tasmania.
Unusually, the book takes its lead from the voyages of Baudin, rather than Flinders. Furthermore, the authors have sourced original accounts including material that has never before been available in English.
