This cottage was originally occupied by James and Grace Cook in Great Ayton, North Yorkshire during the 1750s. Their son James was to become the renowned sea captain, navigator and explorer who led three voyages of European discovery, including the East Coast of Australia. The young James did not live in the cottage, having established his own independent life in Staithes at this time, however it is accepted that he often stayed in it when visiting his parents. In 1933/4 the cottage was deconstructed carefully, shipped to Australia and faithfully rebuilt on its present site in Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne, to celebrate Victoria's Centenary in 1934. The ivy on its walls has purportedly flourished from a cutting brought out at the same time.

"Named in 1874 by . H. Dall, U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS), for Captain James Cook, 1728-79, English navigator and explorer who was responsible for considerable exploration of the Alaska coast as far north as Icy Cape, near latitude 70." - edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/summary/13...

"In 1874 W. H. Dali and Marcus Baker of the U. S. Coast Survey named Mounts Cook and Vancouver from the sea, but somehow the names and elevations must have gotten scrambled, as they mapped Cook’s approximate elevation on Vancouver and Vancouver’s approximate elevation on Cook, and surely they had intended the higher mountain to bear Cook’s name, for he was the more famous of the two British navigators. At any rate, the names stuck where they first appeared on the maps and the elevations were soon applied to the right mountains. At the time of the Klondike gold rush the need was seen to determine the Alaska-Canada boundary more precisely, as the old Russian-British Treaty of 1825 had merely said for this section, "the chain of mountains which follow, at a very small distance, the winding of the coast.” The crests and interior of the Saint Elias Mountains were quite unknown around 1900 and "a very small distance” was taken to be within 10 marine leagues, so it was decided to connect prominent peaks no more than 34½ miles from the sea to form the boundary between the head of Portland Canal and the 141st meridian. Mount Vancouver was used as Boundary Peak 181, but the surveyors went in no further than the sea in this area, hence they used the south-southeast summit rather than the higher one hidden behind it."

(difficult trip out - "On August 3rd we began the 60-mile journey to the ocean. Rain, fog, and poor visibility made the trip a most uncomfortable one. When we reached the beach on August 9th we didn’t have a piece of dry clothing among us. The preceding six days had been too much for even waterproof articles. To add to our misery, a cache of food left on the beach was stolen, apparently by fishermen. We were reduced to a diet of wild peas for three days. On August 12th we were picked up by Merriman. Dr. Robert Sharp, geologist studying the Malaspina Glacier, had spotted us earlier that day while attempting to air drop supplies at his camp on the Malaspina Glacier.")

Elisha Cook didn't know that when he photographed a portal he was actually giving access for himself to be captured by his replicant. In the parallel universe where colors get wacky, the originals lose all color in their flesh. I am on a mission to rescue the original ECJ as we speak.
I love to cook cauliflower and I specially like this recipe that I have been making for a while now. The sauce on top really gives a cauliflower and nice flavor.

This is my good friend, Laura Cook.
One of the greatest girls I know.

Someone give her an award.
Redcliffe is located on the western shore of Moreton Bay, which is in turn partly bounded to the East by Moreton Island. Lieutenant James Cook sailed past Moreton Island on the 17th of May 1770 during his exploratory voyage up the eastern coast of Australia.
Redcliffe's commemoration of the Bicentenary of Cook's journey, features a large boulder and plaque in a foreshore park, accompanied by a smaller stone from the ruins of Whitby Abbey, Whitby being the Yorkshire village in England from which Cook sailed.

Orange is blessed with a number of beautiful parks and gardens. Cook Park is the most famous. Established in 1873 Cook Park takes up an entire city block. Robertson Park and the Orange Botanic Gardens also provide a delightful place to visit and relax while open days are held throughout the year where visitors have the chance to appreciate magnificent showcase gardens which are located throughout the city.
I recently got a favourite Sindy outfit, ‘Cook In’ from 1976, so I had to put it on my favourite auburn-haired Active gal, who is baking pies in her lovely Marx kitchen. There’s lots of interesting background to this outfit: - In 1977, the dress changed to a bright plain yellow version with short sleeves, and included the brown tassel shoes you see here, which I also preferred with this outfit. (This 1976 version of the outfit originally was sold with bright yellow slip-ons.) The dress has a ‘Mego’ tag in it and was also available as a Mego clone fashion, as were many other Sindy styles of the early-mid 70’s, but the clone version was sold without the dark brown striped apron and potholder. Interestingly, this printed dress was also never shown in any of the Sindy booklets or catalogues, and instead was shown with the top part in plain yellow along with a brown and rust bias-checked skirt, so that dress, as noted by the Sindy Museum website, was believed to be a sample or prototype. It was also shown on a similar Auburn-haired gal to mine, as you can see here.

So whats the record for posting images of Mt Cook for one person. Well after a week of OOAK adventure with 7 other brilliant photographers, I seem to have Mt Cook images in abundance. Of course it always helps when Mother Nature turns it on at the same time
For more images of Mt Cook and other amazing locations from around the world, head on over to the App store and download the amazing OneOfAKind location guide. You will not find a more comprehensive list of locations to visit on any other App.
