The Cat and the Captain: Trim the Cat and Matthew Flinders

By Ruth Taylor

Does Matthew Flinders find fame and fortune? This intrepid explorer was the first man to chart the coast of Australia in 1801 accompanied by his mischievous but faithful cat, Trim. Faced with a leaking ship, stormy seas, sickness and an unknown land, Matthew and Trim overcame every obstacle, until they were finally shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef. Saved, they sailed on to Mauritius, only to be imprisoned by the French as spies. What was to become of them?
