James Cook

Yes he did, he met them.

James Cook, who was not even a captain when he charted Australia's eastern coast, was given the credit (incorrectly) for discovering Australia because it was upon his recommendation that Australia was actually settled by the British. Cook charted the eastern coast of Australia, and he was the one who claimed it in the name of Great Britain in 1770, calling it New South Wales. He charted the east coast between April and August of that year. For these reasons, Cook is often wrongly credited with discovering Australia.

There were several Dutch and French explorers who landed on Australia's shores long before Cook even set sail, and Cook was not even the first Englishman to sight Australia, with that honour going to William Dampier. The Dutch did not make any formal claim to the continent, and the French claim was not substantiated. Because Australia had been settled by the British, and there was a continuing loyalty to the British, for years Australian schoolchildren were taught that Captain Cook discovered Australia.

James Cook was born in Marton in North Yorkshire, now part of Middlesbrough, England

dont know what it is

No. Captain James Cook was not a slave-trader.

Captain James Cook was especially known for feeding his crew sauerkraut, or pickled cabbage, which was rich in vitamin C.

Captain James Cook is believed to be the first European explorer to discover Norfolk Island, doing so on 10 October 1774.

No. Captain James Cook was born in England, but his father, also James, was born in Ednam near Kelso , Roxburghshire, in the borders region of Scotland.

None. The convicts did not settle at Botany Bay, but at Port Jackson.

Joseph Cook was the sixth prime minister of Australia.

However, he was not the son of James Cook. He was the son of an obscure coal miner who was klled prematurely in a mining accident.

A salamander is a legendary creature which can live in fire. The salamander used in cooking is so-called because it is, in domestic use, fireproof.

No, he was killed in the Hawaiian islands in 1779

Hicks was the first to sight the land making up the eastern coast of Australia.

On 19 April 1770, officer of the watch, Lieutenant Zachary Hicks, sighted land and alerted Captain Cook. Cook made out low sandhills which he named Point Hicks

Both Cook and Phillip had similar backgrounds in farming, and in joining the British navy at an early age, but after that they served quite different purposes.

James Cook was the first Englishman to reach and chart Australia's eastern coast. He was involved with three extensive voyages between 1769 and 1779, the year in which he was killed by Hawaiian natives. He circumnavigated and charted the islands of New Zealand, came closer to the Antarctic than any previous explorer and discovered the Hawaiian islands, naming them the Sandwich Islands (after the Earl of Sandwich).

Many people would not consider that Captain Arthur Phillip was an explorer, because he had a single commission, which was to command the First Fleet to New South Wales and establish the convict settlement there. He did not set sail to discover other countries or lands. However, as part of his job, Phillip needed to explore beyond the first colony to find more land for farming and settlement. He made several trips by boat up the rivers in the area, and expanded the colony to Rose Hill (now Parramatta). Phillip was not killed by natives, though he did have one encounter with Aborigines in which he was speared in the shoulder. He returned to England, where he died in 1814.

James Cook brought the Endeavour in to moor at a couple of locations in 1770. the first place he moored was Botany Bay. The second place was at the Endeavour River in what is now north Queensland, because he had run aground on the Great Barrier Reef, and the ship needed extensive repairs.

James Cook landed in Poverty Bay in 1769.

It Is Unknown What Captian James Cook's Middle Name Was. There Are Also No Shown Reccords.

Tropical and animal production.

It's the "S.S. Guppy" :)

Cook's first voyage departed in 1768. On this journey, he commanded the 'Endeavour' on an expedition, the purpose of which was to chart the transit of Venus from the best known vantage point, Tahiti. Cook was then under secret orders to try to find the great unknown southern continent, and claim it for Britain. In so doing, he charted the eastern coastline of what he called "New South Wales" (now Australia), making extensive notes on the people, flora, fauna and prospective suitability for colonisation, and reported back to England.

The Endeavour

Joseph Banks was a botanist. Because James Cook was under secret orders to find out as much as he could about the "great southern continent", if it existed, Banks's task was to collect specimens of new species of flora discovered, and to record observations about them.

Essentially, yes. As far as Cook was concerned, the presence of the natives did not render the continent inhabited. He said the continent was Terra nullius - "no man's land" - and therefore free for anyone else to claim and settle.

the Aboriginal people cooked them in hot sand and ashes for over an hour
