James Cook was born on 27 October 1728. He departed England on 25 August 1768, at the age of 39. He first sighted Australia's eastern coastline in April 1770. Therefore, he was 41 when he reached Australia.
If alive, he would be 282 years old. However he died in Hawaii aged 50.
James Cook returned from his first major voyage in July 1771. This was the journey in which he observed and successfully recorded the Transit of Venus, and during which he charted New Zealand and Australia's east coast.
James Cook did not discover Australia. He was the first to chart the eastern coast, doing so in 1770, when he was 41 years old, but Australia was first "discovered" by Dutch explorer Willem Jansz in 1606.
Captain James Cook was the first to cross the Antarctic Circle on the 17th of January, 1773, and reached a latitude of 67 degrees 15 minutes S. It is not clear whether or not he actually set eyes on Antarctica since the ice pack prevented any further southward progress. In 1773, Captain Cook would have been 45 years old.
