Australian places named by James Cook

This is a list of Australian places named by James Cook. James Cook was the first explorer to chart most of the eastern Australian coast, one of the last major coastlines in the world which was unknown to Europeans. Cook named many bays, capes and other geographic features, nearly all of which are still gazetted [ [http://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/ Geoscience Australia, place name search] ] , and most of which are still in use today, although in some places the spelling is slightly different. This is a list of the placenames he used in his first voyage listed from south to north as described on his 1773 map [ [http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-t325 A Chart of New South Wales, or the east coast of New Holland Cook, James, 1728-1779] ] and in his journals.
