Flinders is named after the famous explorer and navigator Matthew Flinders (1774–1814), who was the first person to circumnavigate Australia. The adoption of the name ‘Australia’ is due to him.
Flinders is a rural division which covers an area from Portsea in the south west to Mt Martha, Baxter, Cranbourne South, Koo Wee Rup and Lang Lang along the northern sector to San Remo and Dalyston in the south-east.
Local industries include a steel-rolling mill, dairy farms, fishing, poultry, wineries, orchards, light industry and tourism. The electorate also has a rich sporting tradition, having bred many great football players, sailors, surfers, swimmers, netballers and runners.
The Flinders electorate surrounds and encompasses Western Port, including French Island and Phillip Island, and covers much of the Mornington Peninsula. Localities include:
