"[8], Smith sailed again with Cook in 1772, as master's mate aboard HMS Resolution. When the Pintupi Nine, the last uncontacted Aborigines, first encountered white society in the Gibson Desert in 1984, they were found to be exceptionally fit and healthy even though they lived in a region where people struggle to survive today even with all the benefits of modern technology. Four men followed—Swedish scientist Daniel Solander, English Botanist Joseph Banks, Tahitian navigator Tupaia, and the commander of the expedition, Lieutenant James Cook. But the question mark hanging over the event remains. I am hesitant to accept this. A century before he would certainly have been hanged. The Royal Society, Britain’s premier scientific body, was also keen to send an observer to see the 1769 transit of Venus across the Sun.

I have written before about the dangers of reading history through a partisan lens. [5] On 28 April 1770 he became the first European to set foot on eastern Australian soil, Cook telling him "Jump out, Isaac" as the ship's boat touched the shore at Botany Bay. There is a move to change our national holiday away from a date for which indigenous Australians do not have fond memories. 2016528712 Given their history, it’s not surprising that they should be suspicious of or hostile towards white people. Unleashing thousands of armed ex-convicts on the frontier and then denying the Aborigines the effective protection of the law could only have had one outcome. And there is no way warfare between the Aborigines and British settlers would have resulted in anything other than the spilling of torrents of Aboriginal blood. An Australian living in South Africa, had come across Smith's snuff box, he had purchased this box, and forwarded it to the Governor General for presentation to the Kurnell Trust on an appropriate occasion. Even so, it’s hard to see why the Australian government would earmark $48.7 million to celebrate science done 250 years ago by personnel from another nation.” In fairness to the federal government, a significant part of the $48.7 million is going to indigenous causes. These are not simple problems, and I have no solutions. If the British claim to Australia was not legal, then the British parliament had no authority to pass laws relating to Australia, including the act giving effect to the Australian Constitution which gives the High Court its power in the first place. The story of Australian history is one of remarkable success—a colony established an unprecedented distance from its parent country on an unforgiving continent with a founding population of convicted felons grew to become one of the world’s richest, freest, and most stable nations. This is the colonial paradox—we can only regret the violent dispossession of the Aborigines so much, otherwise we become hypocrites. With the loss of the American colonies this was no longer possible, and the gaols and hulks began to fill. In these circumstances, it’s perfectly understandable that many indigenous Australians don’t consider Cook’s arrival to be worth celebrating. They nonetheless held Cook in high enough regard to give him a traditional funeral. He was born in London, the eldest of seven children of Charles Smith and his wife Hannah, and a cousin of Captain James Cook s wife, Elizabeth Batts. An accurate observation of the transit from different locations around the world would allow them to calculate the distance between the Earth and the Sun. We can acknowledge the brutality inflicted on the Australian Aborigines without idealising them, wanting to live like them, or insisting that their way of doing things was better than ours. When Captain Cook stepped ashore. There are diverse people and cultures across the wide Australian continent, so it’s impossible to generalise, but many Aboriginal groups practiced strict religious laws enforced through violence, punishments such as spearing, the arranged polygamous marriages of pubescent girls to older men, and other practices we find abhorrent today. Cook was undoubtedly a humane man, but his people skills were questionable.
