Bass

This public artwork in Sydney most likely commemorates George Bass, an English surgeon and explorer who charted stretches of the Australian coastline in the late 18th century. Together with Matthew Flinders, he circumnavigated Tasmania in 1798–1799, confirming it was an island separate from the mainland. The Bass Strait between mainland Australia and Tasmania bears his name to this day. Without further source material, the precise form, material, and exact location of this piece cannot be reliably described.
