The Baudin/Flinders Southern Dash
Sunday 22th June, 2025
Baudin/ Flinders, a long distance race and a friendly encounter held at
Encounter Lakes, Bartel Boulevard, Encounter Bay.
In October 1800, Nicolas Baudin set sail from France to map the shores of “Terra Australis”. A few months later, Matthew Flinders cast off under the British flag. The race was on to map the Southern continent. Their expeditions were a great feat of endurance and courage. Despite being in a period of war, the two captains shared a meal and compared scientific notes in the friendly waters now known as Encounter Bay.
