LITTLE John: "Did they make up the name Australia because they were a bunch of dirty old criminals".

Bull that your uncle
Winkle tells you.
The name Australia is derived from the Latin australis, meaning "southern", and specifically from the hypothetical
Terra Australis postulated in pre-modern geography. The name was popularised by the explorer Matthew Flinders
from 1804, and it has been in official use since 1817, replacing "New Holland" as the name for the continent."
