James Cook (still a lieutenant when he first visited Australia, rather than a captain) was favourably impressed by his first sight of Australia's east coast, unlike his predecessor William Dampier who, upon exploring the northwest coast in 1688 and again in 1699, dismissed the continent as inhospitable. Cook believed that the east coast of Australia was suitable for colonisation, and he and Sir Joseph Banks recommended the region of botany Bay as suitable for a convict settlement.
