Matthew Flinders, George Bass and a boy, William Martin had been exploring the south-coast from Port Jackson as far as Lake Illawarra, in a small boat named ''Tom Thumb''. Returning on the evening of 29 March 1796, a southerly gale forced them to seek shelter. Flinders, "steering with an oar", thought the dark outline of cliffs ended and believed he saw breakers, so he turned the boat towards shore. Catching a large wave, they "shot across a sandbar" and in moments were in the calm sheltered water of the lagoon, which in relief they named Providential Cove. On 15 May 1797, three members of the crew of the Sydney Cove were spotted by a fish ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
