Aussie here, who is this Cook guy? /s

I recently had a short conversation with an American high school exchange student in Sydney who was annoyed about how much we are taught about Captain Cook and his voyages in Australian schools.

I tried to point out that Cook and the Endeavor were pretty damn significant to The United States also, but he was having none of it, and insisted that Cook was unimportant in US history. sigh.

Checking in from Dunedin ;)

Too bad it sounds like Endeavour will stay up there, but what an amazing find!
