In the 1770s which changed the aboriginal way of life forever?
James Cook's visit to Australia's eastern coast led to a complete change of life for the Aborigines eighteen years later. James Cook recommended Australia (or New South Wales, as he named the eastern half) as an ideal place to establish a convict settlement. This led to the start of European settlement in Australia with the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, and the subsequent displacement of the Aborigines, along with the eventual loss of the traditional way of life.
