In 2002, the Royal Geographical Society of Queensland visited the island as part of a major study to commemorate the 1802 voyage of Matthew Flinders. There were scientists from various fields of study, and their various reports were compiled into a book which can be purchased from the Society: www.rgsq.gil.com.au/flinders.htm One of the scientists, Prof. Peter Saenger, has been visiting the island since 1973. He has written the original Sweers Island history notes and has now made his article on "Sweers Island - changes over two hundred years since Flinders' visit" - available for download. |
