Matthew Flinders was not the first navigator to enter Port Phillip: Lieut. John Murray had discovered the harbour ten weeks before Flinders arrived in the Investigator in April 1802.

But the Investigator’s survey of Port Phillip was the first detailed examination of the bay and the surrounding country.

In five days Flinders climbed Arthur’s Seat, landed at Mornington and Indented Head, crossed Corio Bay to climb the You-Yangs, and examined Swan Bay and Queenscliff.

This is Flinders’ own account of the Investigator’s survey. It includes reproductions of some of Flinders’ charts, and drawings by his artist William Westall of Point Nepean, Cape Schanck and Arthurs Seat.
