MARITIME Exploration Australian

This is the fascinating, little known tale of the 1802 race between two superpowers, France and England, to discover a strait running up the middle of Australia, which an American captain claimed to have sailed through. The two captains were Mathew Flinders and Nicholas Baudin.

“The Navigators” explores just how close Australia came to being at least partly French. It is an exciting non-fiction story of love, wonder, ambition, recklessness, courage and betrayal.
