James Cook's Pacific Travels During the Reign of George III

We covered the idea of the first penal colony in Australia but mostly talked about the preceding years and Captain Cook's travels throughout the Pacific Ocean. He landed in Botany Bay, was shipwrecked on the Great Barrier Reef, fixed his ship, returned to Britain and sailed back to Australia the following year.
