Come and celebrate the last day of Spring with some spectacular views from the Captain Cook monument.
This monument and scenic lookout stand at the spot on the northern coast where Captain James Cook and his officers landed in 1774.
An interesting bit of history I discovered while reading about Norfolk Island is that in early 1774, in London, Captain James Cook sat at dinner on the eve of his second voyage into the southern hemisphere to try to find the ‘Great South Land’. Next to him sat the Duchess of Norfolk who said, “If you find a small isle would you name it after me?”
A Plaque Commemorating the Discovery of Norfolk Island on 10 October 1774 by Captain James Cook, R.N., F.R.S., was unveiled on 12 October 1974 by The Honourable E. G. Whitlam, Q.C., M.P., Prime Minister Of Australia during The Bi-Centenary Celebrations in 1974.
