"The landing of Captain Cook in Sydney happened on the 28th April 1770" "Captain Cook’s landing was included in Australian bi-centenary celebrations of 1988" How is that a bi-cententary? From The New South Wales Migration Centre: "The First Fleet of 11 ships, each one no larger than a Manly ferry, left Portsmouth in 1787 with more than 1480 men, women and children onboard. Although most were British, there were also African, American and French convicts. After a voyage of three months the First Fleet arrived at Botany Bay on 24 January 1788. Here the Aboriginal people, who had lived in isolation for 40,000 years, met the British in an uneasy stand off at what is now known as Frenchmans Beach at La Perouse On 26 January two French frigates of the Lapérouse expedition sailed into Botany Bay as the British were relocating to Sydney Cove in Port Jackson. The isolation of the Aboriginal people in Australia had finished. European Australia was established in a simple ceremony at Sydney Cove on 26 January 1788." https://www.migrationheritage.nsw.gov.au/exhibition/objectsthroughtime-history/ott1788/index.html From The Captain Cook Society: "Cook landed here on 29th April 1770" https://www.captaincooksociety.com/home/detail/cook-s-landing-place-kurnell So it was Captain Arthur Phillip who established the British Colony at Sydney Cove on January 26th, 1788. But first they stopped for two days at Botany Bay on the 24th. https://www.migrationheritage.nsw.gov.au/exhibition/objectsthroughtime/laperouse/index.html "People should learn the true facts before opening their mouth to spew falsehood."
