Napoléon Bonaparte, as First Consul, formally approved the expedition ‘to the coasts of New Holland’, after receiving a delegation consisting of Baudin and eminent members of the Institut National des Sciences et Arts on 25 March 1800. The explicit purpose of the voyage was to be ‘observation and research relating to Geography and Natural History.’
The Baudin expedition departed Le Havre, France, on 19 October 1800. Because of delays in receiving his instructions and problems encountered in Isle de France (now Mauritius) they did not reach Cape Leeuwin on the south-west corner of the continent until May 1801. Upon rounding Cape Naturaliste, they entered Geographe Bay. During their exploration here they lost a longboat and a sailor, Assistant Helmsman Timothée Vasse. They then sailed north, but the ships became separated and did not meet again until they reached Timor. The expedition was severely affected by dysentery and fever, but sailed from Timor on 13 November 1801, across the Great Australian Bight and reached Tasmania on 13 January 1802. They charted the whole length of Tasmania's east coast and there were extensive interactions with the Indigenous Tasmanians, with whom they had peaceful relationships. They notably produced precious ethnological studies of Indigenous Tasmanians.
In the song, the character Derek (who is featured in the story line of Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)) attempts to convince his father, Arthur, of the great opportunities available in Australia, where there's "no drug addiction" and you can "surf like they do in the U.S.A." Derek's advertisement is compared to John Smith, who campaigned for America in a similar manner, by author Thomas Kitts.
The song also features a jam sequence lasting for approximately half the song, which is atypical for The Kinks. In the Australian single edit, this section is removed by editing an earlier section of the song into another section during a drum beat, which is then followed by a fade-out.
It has featured in a wide variety of Australian press and online media, including mining forums, and continues to garner attention due to its controversial and provocative message. Music press have hailed the song as one of the great contemporary Australian protest songs. The Melbourne Age went as far as to say that Midnight Oil's 'Blue Sky Mine' has nothing on 'Australia (Whore of the World)'.
The Song has been banned by ABC Local Radio Southern Queensland (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) as being too provocative for a conservative audience. ABC Southern Queensland encompasses the Toowoomba and Darling Downs region which is the region where Gordon hails from originally and where he has performed the song at a number of anti-mining rallies. The song has however received airplay in other parts of Australia from the ABC, and has been showcased on the national flagship ABC Environment website. As of May 2011, Gordon is contesting the Toowoomba ruling with the case currently before the independent ABC Consumer and Audience review board.
Matthew Flinders the first man to circumnavigate Australia and the man who named Australia. Hear about his great navigational race with the Frenchman Nicolas Baudin. One of these men would go on to fame but would die the day before his great work was finally published. The other would lead the greatest scientific expedition in history but would pass into obscurity.

Early European explorers in Australia history
From this video you will find who were the first Europeans to discover Australia, how long it took to explore each shore of the new continent, and how the British managed to be the first to establish a colony here. The first Europeans to set foot on Australian soil were the Dutch, who arrived in the early 17th century. They named the land "New Holland" and mapped parts of its western and northern coasts. The most famous Dutch explorers were Willem Janszoon, Frederik de Houtman, Jan Carstenszoon, and Abel Tasman.
However, it wasn't until 1770 that the British navigator Captain James Cook landed on the eastern coast of Australia, which he claimed for Britain and named "New South Wales". The first fleet of British settlers arrived in 1788, led by Governor Arthur Phillip. These first settler...

Matthew Flinders and Nicholas Baudin: Their Story & Continuing Legacy
In the early 19thCentury 2 explorers from 2 warring nations set sail to discover the southern coastlines of Australia. They were scientific and geographic pioneers, putting a fuller picture of Australia on the map. They encountered one another briefly and shared stories with each other. But their legacies have been largely forgotten, especially Baudin's, despite various publications of their exploits.
They never lived to see their legacies to fruition, with Baudin dying on the island of Mauritius and Flinders dying at only 40 after many years of ill health and imprisonment.
So this video, will set to explaining the journeys these 2 men made with their crews, ships and plucky curiosity. It will mark the moments that shaped their adventure and indeed them as individuals.

Discovering Australia: The legend & reality of Matthew Flinders - David Hill
Matthew Flinders is remembered as one of Britain’s greatest navigator-explorers. But to what extent does the legend fit the reality?
: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/discovering-australia-the-legend-and-the-reality-of-the-navigator-explorer
In 1791 Mathew Flinders first sailed to the south-seas as a seventeen year old midshipman on a two year voyage with Captain William Bligh. Three years later he returned to Australia and in a tiny dingy named Tom Thumb explored much of Australia’s south east coast with his good friend lieutenant George Bass. Later, Flinders and Bass sailed in the Norfolk and discovered that Tasmania was a separate island from the mainland of Australia.
After returning to England Flinders was again sent in 1801 to complete the exploration of the entire A...

In the early 19thCentury 2 explorers from 2 warring nations set sail to discover the southern coastlines of Australia.

But their legacies have been largely forgotten, especially Baudin's, despite various publications of their exploits.
They never lived to see their legacies to fruition, with Baudin dying on the island of Mauritius and Flinders dying at only 40 after many years of ill health and imprisonment.
So this video, will set to explaining the journeys these 2 men made with their crews, ships and plucky curiosity. It will mark the moments that shaped their adventure and indeed them as individuals.
Also, with Matthew Flinders being reburied in his hometown on Donnington, Lincolnshire, UK; in July 2024, it is apt I also mark the occasion with a precis of this momentous occasion and how it is Flinders was lost and found.
I have put a lot of work into the making this video, about a year right up until the point of release, so I would be thrilled if you enjoyed it and gave it a quick thumbs up! (Not begging for subs and gratitude...)

After returning to England Flinders was again sent in 1801 to complete the exploration of the entire Australian coast line in the Investigator.
In April 1802 while charting the south coast where no ship had sailed before, he had a remarkable chance encounter with another explorer. Frenchman Nicholas Baudin had been sent by his government on exactly the same quest: to explore the remaining uncharted coast of the great southern land and find out if the west and east coasts, four thousand kilometres apart, were part of the same land.
And so began the race to complete the first complete map of Australia and to finish the exploration of the region started two hundred years before by the Dutch, the Portuguese, the Spanish and later the French and the English.
Flinders three year voyage featured great hardship, sickness, the death of crew, shipwreck and finally imprisonment. Flinders beat his French rivals in discovering and charting the remaining unknown coast but they beat him to publishing the first complete map of Australia.

Napoléon Bonaparte, as First Consul, formally approved the expedition ‘to the coasts of New Holland’, after receiving a delegation consisting of Baudin and eminent members of the Institut National des Sciences et Arts on 25 March 1800. The explicit purpose of the voyage was to be ‘observation and research relating to Geography and Natural History.’
The Baudin expedition departed Le Havre, France, on 19 October 1800. Because of delays in receiving his instructions and problems encountered in Isle de France (now Mauritius) they did not reach Cape Leeuwin on the south-west corner of the continent until May 1801. Upon rounding Cape Naturaliste, they entered Geographe Bay. During their exploration here they lost a longboat and a sailor, Assistant Helmsman Timothée Vasse. They then sailed north, but the ships became separated and did not meet again until they reached Timor. The expedition was severely affected by dysentery and fever, but sailed from Timor on 13 November 1801, across the Great Australian Bight and reached Tasmania on 13 January 1802. They charted the whole length of Tasmania's east coast and there were extensive interactions with the Indigenous Tasmanians, with whom they had peaceful relationships. They notably produced precious ethnological studies of Indigenous Tasmanians.
