George Bass, a British naval surgeon and explorer, made significant contributions to mapping Australia’s coastline. He conducted multiple expeditions to explore and chart different areas of the Australian coast, including the discovery of the Bass Strait, which was named in his honor. Bass played a crucial role in disproving the theory that Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) was part of the Australian mainland. His explorations and precise mapping had a profound impact on future navigation and the understanding of Australia’s geography.
