Cooktown

A Brief History
Located at the southeastern edge of Cape York Peninsula, Cooktown has a population of around 2000 people.

Cooktown is a beautiful, unspoilt coastal town, and one of Australia’s most historically significant townships.

History for this region goes back for many of thousands of years, Waymbuurr was the place the local Guugu Yimithirr and Kuku Yalanji people used as a meeting ground.

In more recent history it was here that on 17 June 1770, Lieutenant (later Captain) Cook beached the Endeavour, which had earlier struck a reef offshore from Cape Tribulation. Cook’s crew spent 48 days here repairing the damage, making Cooktown Australia’s first non-Indigenous settlement.
