Most modern maps of the Australian coastline were conducted by the world geodetic survey of 1984. These were not conducted by one person, but were the compiled efforts of a multinational organization. However, William Dampier (explored in the 1600s) deserves credit for first charting areas of the Western Australian coastline, while Captain James Cook initially charted the eastern coast in 1770, with remarkable accuracy for his time. George Bass, together with Matthew Flinders explored and charted much of the coastline south of Sydney in the early days of the New South Wales colony. Bass also proved for once and for all that van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) was an island. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Flinders circumnavigated the continent, charting the entire coastline of Australia.
