1770年キャプテン・クックはシドニー近郊のボタニー湾に上陸し、豪州の英国領を宣言。北上して水と薪を補給した地を「1770」と命名。更に北上してケアンズ北の苦難岬で座礁し、クックタウンでエンデバー号の補修をします。この町にも立派な砂洲があり、海鳥とウミガメの宝庫らしい。航海家たちにはどちらも貴重な食料だったのでしょう。

Town of 1770
Mon. December 22 : fine
In 1770 Captain Cook landed on Botany Bay near Sydney and declared English occupation of Australia. After that he cruised for north and named next landing point as 1770 where he landed to get water and wood. Cruising up farther to north he stood his ship Endeavor at Cape Tribulation, north of Cairns and repaired it at Cook Town. Town of 1770 has splendid sand bar as well and it is the treasury of sea birds and turtles. Both of them must have been precious food for explorers.
