Probably after the 'inventor' of the water closet, John Harrington. Eighteenth century was a century of toilets. Despite invention of water closet by John Harrington in 1596, which was, costing only 6 shillings and 8 pence this was not adopted on a large scale for almost 182 years. ...During this period people used earth closet. In these toilets instead of water earth was used. So the problem of cleaning remained. The world also saw development of Pan closets - which like cigarette ashtray threw the material at the bottom. This too required manual cleaning. At the same time chamber pots, close stools, open defecation remained. In comparison to this, Harrington's toilet under the name Angrez was being used in France, though not introduced on a large scale in England. In 1738 JF Brondel introduced the valve type flush toilet. Alexander Cummings further improved the technology and gave use a better device in 1775. In Cumming's design water was perennially there in the toilet so it suppressed odors. Still the working of the valve and foolproof inlet of water needed further improvements. In {1777;} Joseph Preiser provided the required improvement. Then Joseph Bramah in 1778, substituted the slide valve with crank valve, It seemed then that the technology of pour flush was now perfected. No the world was yet to witness further technological developments. In 1870, SS Helior invented the flush type toilet, called optims - an improvement over Blummer's design.
No single person mapped the entire east coast of Australia. The first to chart the eastern coast was Captain James Cook in 1770, and he named many features along the coast, but did not explore every bay and inlet. Between December 1801 and June 1803, Matthew Flinders charted the entire coastline of Australia. During this time, he filled in some of the information Cook had missed. In 1817, Philip Parker King was given command of an expedition to complete the exploration of the north-western coast of Australia, filling in the gaps that Flinders had not yet mapped. He was instructed to explore all gulfs, inlets and other waterways "likely to lead to an interior navigation into this great continent". In 1823, three ticket-of-leave convicts (Parsons, Pamphlett and Finnegan) led explorer John Oxley to the Brisbane River, another feature which had been missed by the two previous seamen.
