On May 23, 1770, on the spot where the town now sits, Captain James Cook and the crew of the HMS Endeavour dropped anchor and came ashore onto a small peninsula. This event marked Cook’s second landing in Australia—he had become the first recorded European to set foot on the continent’s eastern coastline only a month earlier, on April 29.

Cook wrote of the excursion in his journal: “In the AM I went a shore with a party of men in order to examine the Country … as yet we had seen no people but saw a great deal of smook [sic] up and on the west side of the Lagoon which was all too far off for us to go by land excepting one this we went to and found 10 small fires in a very small compass and some cockle shells laying by them but the people were gone.”
