The tiny town with a colourful past
Cooktown, Qld
This beautifully unspoilt town – the site of James Cook’s first meeting with Indigenous people – presents visitors with an abundance of fishing hotspots, long deserted beaches and bushland for hiking.
Hiya!
Who’s Thomas Cook?
I think you need to change it to Captain James Cook 😉
LOL you need to do some serious research before putting these things up any website about Cooktown will tell you its James Cook, I should know my dad used to run the James Cook Museum 🙂 You did get the beautiful part right though.
I was wondering the same thing Sarah.
We really do need to get the facts right and this type of incorrect information can do a lot of damage to a small community struggling for recognition of our historical past.
Thomas was James Cook’s uncle. James brought the first cruise ship, the HMB Endeavour to Oz.
