This book is a dramatic and lively account of the encounters
between Captain Cook, his crew and the Indigenous people of
Australia during the Endeavour's first landing at Botany Bay, on
Australia's east coast in 1770. These encounters were marked by
poise, fragility, humanity, intrigue, fear, confusion and regret.
The book brings together for the first time all the known surviving
objects collected, and all the visual material produced, during
Cook's time on shore, and incorporates them into the history told.
The story about cross-cultural encounters in 1770 is complemented
by stories told in art, word and performance by both Aboriginal and
non-Aboriginal Australians over two centuries or more. The book
includes a rich store of historical and contemporary visual images,
which are used to show the way in which the meanings and
interpretations of these encounters have changed over time.
