	In the Beginning was Captain Cook
		While Cook was celebrated by many non-indigenous Australians as an exemplary progenitor, Koories and their supporters rallied at Cook's Cottage and marched to the City Square to hear Stewart Murray call for the return of Aboriginal land to Aboriginal people.
		Cook had been massively codified in school and scholarly texts, in pictorial images, place-name s and porcelain; in commemorations and coins, statuary, stamps, poetry, drama and fiction.
		Yet, like Captain Cook's Cottage or the spirit of the navigator lurking on Australian beaches, these forms of social memory cannot simply be claimed for history: they are histories between the particular and the universal, between the affective and the scientific, between narrative and theory.

		Lieutenant James Cook, later Captain, made his reputation on the discovery and mapping of the east coast of Australia, after observing the 1769 transit of Venus in Tahiti.
		Mapping as they sailed north along the coastline, from what is now the state of Victoria, Lieutenant Cook finally found a promising looking opening in the cliffs on April 28th, and turned the Endeavour into a bay of "exceptional size", to drop anchor and replenish supplies.
		But getting supplies was not as easy as was first assumed by Cook and his crew, from their initial observations of the native inhabitants.

		Following their 239-run loss in the First Test at Lord’s, the English media led the cries for heads to roll from the English team, with batsman Ian Bell, wicket-keeper Geriant Jones and spinner Ashley Giles copping the brunt of the criticism that was more due to a poor team performance rather than individual failures.
		One-up in the series, Australia was always likely to retain the line-up that was so emphatic a winner at Lord’s, however the tour match at Worcestershire was a mini trial between Jason Gillespie and Michael Kasprowicz for the third seam bowling position.
		Looking for the hitters, Adam Gilchrist stands-out as Australia’s most pure hitter, and is well priced at $9.00, while Justin Langer, who tends to wait for the ball to come onto the bat better than most in the Australian side is also worth a wager at $5.00.

		This is the key document which foreshadows British colonisation of Australia (which actually began in 1788) and presaged the tragic consequences for Australia’s indigenous peoples — the oldest surviving culture on Earth — who, under British law, were effectively deemed not to exist (the ‘terra nullius’ doctrine).
