From April 1770 until August 1770, Cook sailed Endeavour along the entire east coast of New Holland, as Australia was then known. This was one of the most remarkable of the late eighteenth century voyages of discovery. Cook charted Australia's coast mainly by running survey.

 Today’s visitors to Australia’s east coast can visit numerous places that James Cook literally put on the map. This guide leads readers to them and explains their historic provenance and significance and includes quotations from Cook’s log. A Guide to James Cook’s Australia enables contemporary readers to recognise the importance of Cook’s epic feat in charting this fascinating coast, and to savour its marvelous natural attractions.
