Based on Captain James Cook's three voyages. It was on his first voyage, in 1770 (while in the South Pacific region to observe the transit of Venus), that Captain Cook discovered the east coast of Australia. He later recommended Australia as a future British colony.
The series was financed by $5 million from Revcom France, $2.25 million from the ABC and the rest from 10BA tax money.
