In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.
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.
