1. James Cook Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 479 reviews
The James Cook Museum is set in a stunning nineteenth-century convent, and houses an original anchor and cannon from the HMB Endeavour, and an extensive collection of local Guugu Yimithiir artefacts. The museum tells the story of the interaction between Captain James Cook and the indigenous people – it is a story that is integral to Australian history, told from both perspectives, and is the first recorded act of Reconciliation. The museum showcases the fascinating heritage of Cooktown – set on the banks of the Endeavour River.

Captain Cook's anchor, as well as some of the cannons from the Endeavour, are on display. Also an amazing eclectic mixture of items which are well worth seeing. The venue in itself is fabulous!

The amount of information in here is amazing. It's set out in chronological order, so as you walk through you see the transition from Cook's visit to present day. It's worth more than the mere $5 they charge for admission.
