Which continent? James Cook never circumnavigated Australia, but he did chart the eastern coast, from April to August 1770. He circumnavigated the islands of New Zealand in 1769.
Captain James Cook did not discover any continent. In 1770, he found the eastern coast of Australia, but Australia as a continent had been discovered by the Portuguese about two hundred years before Cook. Formal discoveries of Australia were made by the Dutch in the early 1600s.
James Cook never settled in Australia. He was sent to explore whether there really was a great southern continent, but he never settled in Australia.
No. The king did not travel with James Cook.
Captain Cook was a ships' captain, not a cook.
Of course not! He had the whole crew of his ship with him plus scientists such as Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander.
James Cook, who was still a lieutenant when he came to Australia, travelled up the east coast of the continent.
James Cook was able to determine that New Zealand was not a continent because he circumnavigated the islands, sailing around the islands and charting them as he went.
He didn't. After leaving Tahiti and the scientific observations of the transit of Venus, Lieutenant James Cook (later Captain) was issued secret orders to continue west and explore any new lands he came across. After leaving New Zealand, Cook continued west to the continent of Australia, where he only charted the eastern coastline. It was Matthew Flinders who first travelled completely around the Australian continent, doing so over thirty years after Cook claimed the eastern seaboard for Great Britain.
He traveled many places, he went on three voyages.

Captain James Cook did not actually find the Great Southern Continent. In fact, no such continent exists and Cook's voyages in the late 18th century helped confirm this by mapping out the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand, proving that they were not part of a larger landmass. Cook's expeditions were instrumental in dispelling the myth of a massive southern continent and advancing our understanding of the geography of the southern hemisphere.

None. He was the first to seriously explore and map the coast of Australia, but that continent had already been discovered earlier by the Dutch.
