This Day in the History of British Explorers
On this day in 1770, Captain James Cook landed on Australia and claimed it for the British crown. It's still largely in British descended hands. The aborigines didn't have much say in what happened after that. They kind of deserved what happened to them, in my mind, for killing off the amazing mega-fauna on the continent over the 40,000 years since their arrival, destroying the Dream Time. Karma is a black hearted bitch sometimes.
