Captain James Cook is generally credited with the discovery of Australia in 1770, but in reality he only discovered and mapped the east coast. Others beat him to it by as much as 150 years or more. Captain Cook was killed by the natives of an Hawaiian island as a result of an "incident" in 1779 - so he was not killed by natives of the Australian continent at all.
