Cooktown, located in Far North Queensland, Australia, is a historic coastal town with significant cultural importance. Named after Captain James Cook, who beached his ship HMS Endeavour here for repairs in 1770, the town serves as a testament to both Indigenous and European Australian history.
Originally inhabited by the Guugu Yimithirr Aboriginal people, the area witnessed one of the first recorded instances of reconciliation between Indigenous Australians and European settlers. The town later grew during the Palmer River gold rush of the 1870s. Today, Cooktown maintains its historical character while showcasing the natural and cultural heritage of the region through various cultural institutions and historic sites.
The town's location near the Great Barrier Reef and surrounded by diverse natural landscapes adds to its significance as a cultural destination.
