James Cook's most famous voyage is arguably his first voyage when, in 1769-1770, he circumnavigated and charted New Zealand, and when he became the first known European to sight and chart Australia's eastern coast.

∙ 13y agoCaptain James Cook made many significant contributions to exploration. Arguably his most important was when he circumnavigated and charted New Zealand (1769) and, several months later, the Eastern coast of Australia, in 1770. After he charted the east coast of Australia in much detail, he returned a favourable report to England. It was this report and recommendation which convinced the authorities to colonise the Australian continent with convicts. It was also on this journey that Cook claimed Australia and New Zealand for the British empire.
