Some photos from Donington for you @gdrosser #MatthewFlinders On the live stream the biographical composition of Flinders by the choir set to Cohen’s Alleluia was fabulous

A huge well done and thank you to everyone involved in today’s #MatthewFlinders reinterment ceremony - from those campaigners who’ve spent years lobbying for his return to the Navy and Cadet personnel taking part.
Two centuries later, an old captain is home.
He's coming home #matthewflinders
#MatthewFlinders goes home today. Hats off. ‘Peace be to his Shade, and Honour to his memory’ (as he said of his beloved cat, #Trim). #australia #exploration #hydrography https://t.co/IEuwf8gD7u
Homecoming today to the village of #Donington #Lincs for #MatthewFlinders, son of #Lincolnshire, circumnavigator of #Australia, whose body was discovered during the #HS2 excavations near Euston. Now honoured for his achievement in his native land. (I learned a lot of respect for this relatively unsung hero researching the content for these displays @AyscoughfeeHall a few years back) #Flinders 🧵1/4

Statue of Captain Matthew Flinders in Melbourne. Credited with first use of the name 'Australia.' With George Bass, confirmed Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was an island. Led the first circumnavigation of New Holland.🇦🇺 #aushistory #matthewflinders #Australia
On this day in 1803, Bungaree, Matthew Flinders and Trim the cat completed the first circumnavigation of Australia. Should be a national holiday.

Never go to the #MitchellLibrary @statelibrarynsw without saying hi to ‘Trim’ (overlord of #MatthewFlinders) on the way in.

Ahoy, readers and happy 249th birthday to explorer #matthewflinders who sailed the world with his beloved cat, Trim. This fall, thanks to the artistry of Kristy Caldwell @shortdivision & the great folks @PeachtreePub Trim sets sail on his own series of adventures! @Bookshop_Org
And he had a cat! #MatthewFlinders
@TheRestHistory Inspired by @holland_tom, I did a City of Sydney walk at lunch and stopped by Matthew Flinders' statute at the NSW State Library. And more importantly the statute of Matthew Flinders' cat Trim
#AustraliaDay could be moved to the June long weekend because #MatthewFlinders, who came up with the name Terra Australis, completed the #circumnavigation of this island continent with companion and #FirstNations man, #Bungaree in early June 1803. It's inclusive and all about Oz.
