The question proceeds from a false assumption. James Cook did not discover Australia; nor was he a Captain at the time he charted the eastern coast.

James Cook was still a Lieutenant in charge of the Endeavour when he charted the eastern coast of Australia and claimed it for Great Britain on 22 August 1770, calling it New South Wales. He charted the east coast between April and August of that year. For this reason, Cook is often wrongly credited with discovering Australia.

James Cook was commissioned by the Royal Society in England to search the southern seas and find the "Great Southland" ("Terra Australis") that was believed to exist in the world's southern oceans somewhere. The result was that although he hadn't been the first European to discover Australia, he was the first known to have sailed along and chart most of the eastern coast of Australia - which was eventually to become the most significant for settlement.

Both. He once fell out of his pram when his nurse was not looking and when he came home he found the window to be locked. Thinking that his parents no longer loved him anymore he ran away to Neverland.

After Lieutenant (not yet Captain) James Cook circumnavigated New Zealand, he then continued west, until he reached the southeastern corner of mainland Australia. When he reached Australia's eastern coast, he then travelled north, charting the new territory.

The first person to discover is unsure, because we only know of the Maori who came here on 'Wakas' (canoes) but the first European we know of to set foot on New Zealand is Abel Tasman, however his ship isnt very commonly known, and i do not know it either, but he left very soon assuming that the country was just a small island in the pacific, but later on Captain James Cook landed in New Zealand and explored and mapped the coastlines, and his ship was named the 'Endeavour'

James Cook was not the first to find New Zealand. Abel Tasman discovered it in 1642.

Cook was given orders from the government in England to sail down to the south in search of a 'great southern land' that would balance out the world. That's what they thought at that time.

The motto of Brooklyn College is 'Nothing without great effort'.

On 6 October 1769, Nicholas Young, the surgeon's boy, sighted the coastline of New Zealand from the masthead of The Endeavour. On 8 October 1769 the Endeavour sailed into a bay, and laid anchor at the entrance of a small river in Tuuranga-nui (today's Poverty Bay, near modern Gisborne). Cook named a peninsula in this bay "Young Nick's Head" after Nicholas Young.

• From October 1769 to February 1770, James Cook circumnavigated and charted New Zealand. This was his first visit to the islands.
• He visited New Zealand again on his second journey, between February and May of 1773, returning again in November of that year, having explored the Pacific Islands.
• He was back in New Zealand for October and November of 1774.
• Cook returned to New Zealand in December 1776 to January of 1777.

James Cook (a Lieutenant when he arrived in Australia, not a captain) claimed the east coast of Australia for Great Britain in 1770. He named it New South Wales.

Captain James Cook died on 14 February 1779 whilst visiting Hawaii on his return from his third major voyage.

yes, he had problems with his boat and also with health problems. He almost died because of an infection in his leg because of a antarctic soldiar trying to kill pirates near by with a toxic bomb.

Ferdinand Magellan is generally credited with being the first explorer to circumnavigate the world.

Botany Bay's original name, as given by James Cook, was "Stingray Harbour". However, it was later changed to "Botany Bay" because of the many new and unique plant species that Cook's botanists (Sir Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander) found, classified and catalogued there.

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.

Today: 8th of June 2011 Captain James Cook would be 183 years old!

Sir Joseph Banks was the English botanist who accompanied Cook on his voyage to Tahiti, New Zealand and Australia. While in Australia, Sir Joseph Banks, and the Swedish and Finnish botanists Daniel Solander and Dr Herman Spöring made the first major collection of Australian flora, describing many species new to science.

Banks was a passionate advocate of British settlement and colonisation of the Australian continent, as suggested by the name of Botany Bay. Banks is credited with the classification and description of eucalyptus, acacia, mimosa, and the genus named after him, Banksia. He is also the one who recommended that the new colony be established at Botany Bay.

The eastern coast of Australia was/is characterised by bushland which indicated to Cook that it was fertile country, unlike the countryside that had been explored in the west to that date. There were numerous river mouths, indicating sufficient fresh water, and also large bays suitable for ships.

One of the worst conditions to strike sailors on long voyages was scurvy. Scurvy was the result of insufficient vitamins, due largely to the lack of fresh food.

James Cook insisted his crew eat sauerkraut because it had Vitamin C, a vital component for warding off scurvy. Sauerkraut, or pickled cabbage, could be kept for a long period of time, yet retain its Vitamin C.

Captain James Cook was killed on his third journey while returning to England in 1779. He had already visited the Sandwich Islands (now Hawaii) on his outward journey where, due to an unusual combination of circumstances, he was perceived to be a certain god returning from across the sea. The natives revered him and treated him exceptionally well, and when they saw him off, it was with all the ceremonial pomp they reserved for their most highly honoured gods.

Cook then returned to Hawaii on his return trip to England, but this was perhaps his biggest mistake. For a start, his 'god' persona was not supposed to return, and his return caused some suspicions among the natives that he was perhaps not who they had thought he was. In trying to recover one of the ship's boats, which had been stolen by Polynesian islanders, or possibly while they were trying to send his boats away from the island again, Cook was attacked and killed by the natives, using spears, on the beach at Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii. The date of Cook's death was 14 February 1779.

There are reports that he was cannibalised, but cannibalism was not actively practised in Hawaii at this time. It seems his body was prepared in an unusual ritual, which may have seemed like cannibalism to those of his crew who witnessed it. Because he had originally been regarded as a god by the natives, his heart was divided between tribal chiefs and eaten. his hands were stuffed with salt to preserve them, whilst many of his bones were placed around the island, given to other significant tribal chiefs. His remains were then returned to his crew in dignified fashion, with a cloak of white and black feathers, where they were placed in a small coffin and buried at sea.

Yes; James Cook is believed to be the first European to actually land on New Zealand soil. He was not, however, the first European to discover New Zealand - that was achieved by Abel Tasman in 1642.
