    Aaaah Mathew Flinders a great explorer and man, named our country Australia, but he has another feather in his cap.

    Explorer Captain Matthew Flinders first used the word Australians in reference to Yolngu people in Top End

    Logan is named after Captain Logan, who was a well-known persecutor of the local Aborigines.
    Can anyone spell the name of our highest mountain?
