What Captain Cook thought of Australia

Captain James Cook was very impressed with Australia.

When Cook returned to England, he told King George III that the soil was good for crops. He said that there were lots of birds and animals to hunt for food and that the waters were filled with fish.

The King was pleased with this news and began to plan to move English people to this country to secure it for him.

What is Terra Nullius?

When Captain Cook was in Australia he decided the land was Terra Nullius'. What does that mean?

Terra nullius means 'land belonging to no one'.

This means that Captain Cook believed that the land was free for whoever got there first to take it.

Why was Australia Terra Nullius?

When Captain Cook and his crew were in Australia they met Aboriginal people who were considered the first inhabitants of Australia.

Cook decided that because of the way the Aboriginal people lived it was not their land. The Aboriginal people did not show their ownership with fences or markers, like people in Europe.

Cook decided that the British could colonise.

This decision led to Australia's Indigenous people losing all their rights to the land. The fight for land rights is still going on today.

See if you can find all the words about Terra Nullius in the word find!
