Captain Cook did not discover Australia. Notwithstanding the presence of Australian Aborigines, and the Asian sea-slug traders who visiter the continent's northern shores long before Eureopean settlement, Australia was "discovered" by Dutch explorers in the early 1600s.The boat in which Captain Cook explored and charted the eastern coastline was the H.M.Bark Endeavour.
James Cook was speared to death in the Big Island of Hawaii, by native Hawaiians.
Absolutely none. Canberra was not built until nearly 150 years after Cook charted the eastern coast.
It is a common misconception that Captain Cook discovered Australia. He did not. The Australian continent had been populated by Aborigines for thousands of years, and visited by numerous Asian traders and, later, explorers since the first known European visitor in 1616. Captain James Cook was the first European to sight and chart the eastern coast of Australia, which he did between April and August 1770.
