What happened in Australia in 1770?

Answer 1

Answer #1 by Ginezumi That's the year in which Captain James Cook first saw the subsequent Queensland. Answer #2 by On the Wallaby The Town of 1770 is so named because it was the historic second landing site of Cook along the eastern coast of Australia. 1770 is also the year Cook came across the Great Barrier Reef, running aground on the reef near Cooktown, and having to spend almost two months repairing the ship. It was here that botanist Sir Joseph Banks made many notes regarding Australian flora and fauna, and it was here that Banks discovered that the Aborigines called a strange hopping animal "Ganguru", giving rise to the name "kangaroo".

Answer 2

1770 is regarded as a significant year for Australia because it was when James Cook (not yet a captain) became the first known European to sail up the eastern coast, charting it as he went. Because of Cook's favourable reports, this region which he claimed for England under the name of New South Wales, was recommended for settlement. (For this reason, Cook is often wrongly credited with "discovering" Australia.)
