Remains of explorer Matthew Flinders found - ending 200-year mystery

Matthew Flinders popularized use of the word Australia when referring to the land down under. We have hospitals & universities named after him. A proper old cunt that circumnavigated Australia between 1801 and 1803

The remains have been found at a burial site beneath Euston station in London, 216 years after he circumnavigated Australia......

...The cemetery at St James soon became overcrowded. Originally designed for 16,000 bodies, it quickly expanded to about 60,000.

Euston station expanded into the burial ground in the 1840s. Flinders's headstone was removed, and it was feared his remains had been lost forever.

Now, it's the site of one of the largest infrastructure projects in British history — the $101 billion HS2 rail link between London and Birmingham.
