1770, Queensland
Captain James Cook - After circumnavigating New Zealand, Cook's expedition sailed west for Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) (where I live) but winds forced the Endeavour north and the expedition came upon the east coast of Australia in April 1770. At a brief and simple ceremony at Botany Bay, (a bay of Sydney) Cook named the entire east coast of Australia New South Wales.

View from Mt. Archer, Queensland
Mt. Archer National Park is 522 kilometres northwest of Brisbane. It's the backdrop of the city of Rockhampton which marks the start of Tropical Queensland.
Mount Arches is 604 meters above sea level. The park covers 4250 hectares of open forest and woolands.
There is a nice picnic area with a good sized car park which is sealed as the road is up to Mt. Archer.
