No doubt the first person to die in Australia was an unrecorded Aborigine many thousands of years ago.
However, the first European to die in Australia and be buried on Australian soil was Forby Sutherland. Sutherland was a Scottish seaman who sailed with James Cook when he explored and charted Australia's eastern coast.
When Cook anchored in botany Bay in April 1770, where he went ashore, he and his scientists, as well as numerous crew members spent some time exploring and mapping the region. During this time, Sutherland, who had been ill with tuberculosis, died. He was buried on a southern beach in Botany Bay on 1 May 1770, and Cook named a nearby headland Point Sutherland in memory of his dead crewman.
