Direct descendants of the legendary explorer Matthew Flinders gathered at Flinders University Victoria Square on Saturday, July 19, to celebrate the royal unveiling of a commemorative statute that will stand in one of London's busiest railway stations. Officially unveiled by Prince William at a ceremony at Australia House in London, the life-size bronze statue of Matthew Flinders will be situated on the main concourse of Euston Station in North London, where the English cartographer and first explorer to circumnavigate Australia is believed to be buried.
