The Mapmakers Brother

PRODUCED

Also commissioned by the ANMM, to accompany the exhibition Oceans Apart: the story of Ann and Matthew Flinders.

The play is about the relationship between the great Australian denominator and navigator Matthew Flinders and his less well known brother, Samuel who accompanied him on many of his voyages, including aboard The Investigator as they charted and named the South Australian coastline.

The play traces tensions in the brothers relationship and cleverly explains concepts of mapping and navigation essential to the Year 3 and 4 syllabus.
