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.
