MATTHEW FLINDERS
BRING HIM HOME
Matthew Flinders was a great seafaring explorer, charting much of Australia’s coastline despite a series of trials and wild adventures. An outstanding sailor, surveyor, navigator and scientist, he was a considerate and self-sacrificing leader who looked after all under his command.
Once Matthew's remains were discovered, the MFBHH group was set up to ensure that he would be reburied in Donington, Lincolnshire, England - his birth place and home.
This was Donington's chance to come together to bring Flinders home! Thousands joined us as we celebrated his life and prepared for his reburial with a fabulous village weekend event, special guests and great interest from across the other side of the world in Australia.
The date was confirmed ! Saturday 13th July 2024.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of Country which Matthew Flinders visited and mapped during his voyages in Australia. We pay our respects to Elders past and present. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this website may contain images or names of people who have died
