1770 The date Australia lost it's independence

Australia was "discovered" by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770 when he came ashore at the place called 1770. Australia lost it's independence that day as he claimed the place for the British. Attention to detail d-mac - cook first landed at botany bay, not at 1770. http://www.ryadia.com/PFF/June/cooks-landing.htm I imagine sailing down the east coast of Australia, he'd have to pass this spot on his way to Sydney. Yes? No? http://www.ryadia.com/PFF/June/cooks-landing.htm He went north, first landing at botany bay, then went up to where 1770 now is, and later spent a lot of time at endeavour river - near present day Cooktown (hence the name) - after being shipwrecked on the barrier reef. By the way - I very much did like the photo of the boat at 1770 that started this thread. I'm sure the critics could probably find something wrong with it, but I reckon it looks ok. :-) |
