250 years ago today, Cook and the officers enjoyed a bustard for dinner, and so Australia's Bustard Bay was named.
This is a brilliant short slide presentation of Cook's expedition off the east seaboard of Australia 250 years ago - from bustards to crashing into the Great Barrier Reef. Kangaroo sightings to controversial land claims. From Botany Bay to Darlington collectors. Also learn how there are still remnants of the Bark Endeavour in Australia.

To remember Cook's 250th anniversary of his time in Australia between April and August 2020 Captain Cook Birthplace Museum is bringing its planned talk for this month to you virtually. Created by Phil Philo this video presentation tells us so much about Cook in Australia.

You may have to press pause to ensure you can read through each page, there's loads to see and read!

Enjoy xx
