Captain James Cook did not bring disease to Australia. However, when Europeans settled here permanently, some 18 years after Cook claimed the eastern half of the continent, they certainly brought previously unknown diseases to Australia.
Australia separated from Antarctica around 85 million years ago during the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana. This separation gradually led to the formation of the Southern Ocean and the distinct landmasses we recognize today as Australia and Antarctica.
God made the world about 6,000 years ago. So Australia was not even around that long ago. ;)
