Synopsis
IN FLINDERS' WAKE is a celebration of the 200th anniversary of the voyages of the explorers Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin along the coast of South Australia. Leavened with a wry humour, and delivered with an inimitable twinkle in the eye, the story of Flinders and Baudin is told against the backdrop of some brilliant aerial photography of the SA coast and of its remote islands. This brilliant story of two great scientific expeditions, and of the explorers and settlers who followed, is interwoven with family, geological, social and political history.
