James Cook was the first recorded European to see what is now known as the Gold Coast, in Queensland. On 25 May1770, he named Point Danger and Mt Warning.
The next European visitor was Matthew Flinders, who was the first to actually come in to shore. He arrived in mid-July 1799.
The first European settlement on the Gold Coast occurred in 1828, when Captain Logan established a military post at Point Danger because of convicts escaping from Moreton Bay, although the post closed within a year.
