The unwritten story of Captain Cook's 'discovery' of Australia, as remembered by the Yuin people
As Endeavour sailed past, the Yuin people lit fires on headlands to warn others further up the coast."So when people saw the smoke burning, they were curious.Cook sights smoke along shoreline"In the p.m. we saw the smoke of fire in several places; a certain sign that the country is inhabited."Cook's repeatedly noted in his journal the sight of smoke along the shore after dark.
An ABC-wide initiative to reflect, listen and build on the shared national identity of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people."And eventually, this pelican would sail in, and he did eventually scoop up everything and steal everything off us." The same day Cook first saw smoke on the shore, Endeavor sailed past Gulaga, the Yuin people's sacred mother mountain on the far-south coast of New South Wales."At 6 we were abreast of a pretty high mountain laying near the shore which, on account of its figure, I named Mount Dromedary."
