The name for the river in the local Guugu Yimithirr language is ''Wabalumbaal''. (The local Aboriginal Guugu Yimithirr tribe) Cook and his crew remained for almost 7 weeks and made contact with the local Guugu Yimithirr Aborigines, while the naturalists Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander made extensive collections of native flora, while Sydney Parkinson illustrated many of the flora and fauna of the region. Modern Cooktown , is located at the mouth of the Endeavour River. It is the northernmost town on the East coast of Australia, and was founded in 1873, around the site of Cook's landing, as a port to service the newly discovered Palmer River Goldfields. SEE ALSO |
