Captain James Cook discovered Hawaii.
He did not discover Australia, although he was the first to see the eastern coast.
He also did not discover New Zealand, but was the first to circumnavigate the islands.
Captain James Cook was killed by natives in Hawaii on his third voyage in 1779.
James Cook claimed Australia for the British Crown on 22 August 1770. He landed at Possession Island in Torres Strait in order to make the formal claim.
Lieutenant James Cook (not yet a captain) chose Botany Bay as the most promising site for a new settlement.it is interesting to note that, when the First Fleet arrived eighteen years later, Captain Arthur Phillip did not find Botany Bay to be at all as Cook had described. He was forced to reconnoitre north in order to find a more suitable prospect.
