Shaun Micallef: Matthew Flinders
ABOUT THE SHOW
A skull collection, a Robinson Crusoe obsession and a beloved pet cat: ladies and gentlemen, meet Matthew Flinders. Think you know the story of Australia’s most famous pioneer? Think again. In his wildly witty and scrupulously researched new book, Shaun Micallef sheds new light on the curious and chaotic figure who led the first circumnavigation of Australia – and explores what Flinders’ escapades can tell us about our national identity and the tragedy of our colonial past.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Shaun Micallef is a sometime author but mainly puts food on the table by debasing himself on television. This is very undignified and he feels much shame, so every now and then he writes a book so that people think he’s clever. This seldom fools anyone. His new book is De’ath Takes a Holiday.
