Cook, Reginald James, D.S.O., D.F.C., D.F.M.
Died 2nd August 1947 aged 29 in an aircraft accident in the Andes Mountains
Buried in Melbourne Cemetery
Flight lieutenant Reginald James Cook was captain of the ill-fated 'Star Dust’ Avro Lancastrian airliner that disappeared without trace during a flight between South American capital cities, Buenos Aires and Santiago, on 2nd August 1947.
The wreckage of the aircraft was discovered more than 50 years later, in 1998. The meaning of 'Star Dust's' cryptic last Morse code message, ‘STENDEC’, has been debated ever since as the subject of various documentaries and books.
After DNA tests were carried out on the human remains found, his remains were returned home to his family, and he was buried in his home town of Melbourne in 2005.
He was also an observer with 15 Squadron, who took part in numerous sorties against targets in France and Germany during the Second World War.

Her Commander Philip Charles Durham was promoted to post captain on the frigate Narcissus on 24 June, and Commander James Cook replaced him on Spitfire. Cook's death by drowning in January 1794 necessitated the assigning of Commander John Clements to take over the Spitfire. Cook was eldest and only surviving son of the celebrated navigator Captain James Cook. James Cook, the younger, was in a boat at Poole with eight crewmen. The boat and Cook's body were found close together near the Isle of Wight but there was no trace of the other eight men.

The Captain Cook Memorial is on the lake's edge adjacent to the Jet. It commemorates the various journeys of Lieutenant James Cook, RN, who in 1770 commanded the Royal Navy's HM Barque "Endeavour" on a journey to the Pacific Ocean to observe the transit of Venus across the face of the sun. (This would assist in techniques of celestial navigation.) He then went on to 'discover' and very effectively map the coasts of New Zealand and then the east coast of Australia. (It is widely believed that this 'discovery' was based on Portuguese and Spanish maps that he secretly held.)
His first landing in Australia was at Botany Bay near Sydney (Port Jackson) and it was there that he claimed the land for the British monarch.
Cook was killed by Pacific Island natives while on a later journey. (Source:http://members.pcug.org.au/~prellis/amateur/cook2002.html)
Um campo de feno
É difícil imaginar vacas no vale de Yosemite. Mas no final de 1800, cavalos e mulas transportavam turistas para o Vale, enquanto o gado e ovelhas forneciam leite e carne aos hotéis.
Os primeiros pioneiros plantaram colheitas neste prado. Eles também permitiram que seus animais pastassem aqui.
Essas práticas compactaram o solo e danificaram plantas dos prados.
Após as pastagens terem sido eliminadas do vale de Yosemite no final da década de 1920, a vegetação nativa retornou.
Olhando através deste prado hoje, você pode ver gamos se alimentando nos gramados ou coiotes e ratos dos prados.

We have many hardback and paperback books, collected over the years, but in recent years, we have borrowed books from the excellent local library. We rarely buy books any more, but I have made an exception in this case, being a great admirer of Captain James Cook “the greatest maritime navigator, explorer and cartographer of all time”.
