 I enjoyed this book.

It explains how Matthew Flinders became special.

It starts with some personal information and then goes to the main points.  He explored the coastlines of Tasmania, Victoria and Bass Strait was named after his partner George Bass.  From 1802-03 he charted the coastline of Australia It is a narrative text and is essential for school reports.
