Description
The Endeavour Journals: A New Perspective on Captain Cook's Australian Voyage In 1770, the H.M. Bark Endeavour arrived in New Holland, marking the beginning of a pivotal moment in Australian history. For the first time, this book brings together the journals of Lieutenant James Cook, gentleman naturalist Joseph Banks, natural history artist Sydney Parkinson, and Midshipman James Magra, offering a unique and cohesive narrative of the voyage. This collection of journals is complemented by over 300 images, including charts, coastal profiles, harbour plans, and original drawings of the animals, people, and landscapes encountered during the voyage. By presenting the story in the words of the explorers themselves, this book provides a fresh and authentic account of the contact with Indigenous people and the first discovery of New Holland.
