Answer:

sir joseph banks is the father of australia

Explanation:

IN an old gazetteer we read that Botany Bay was discovered in 1770 by Captain Cook, who so

named it from the great quantity of herbs which he found on its shores. This statementis

true, of course, as to the main fact, but it is otherwise inaccurate and incomplete, for no

doubt the name was suggested by SirJoseph Banks's report on the vegetation of the country

around their first landing-place in Australia and the very rich botanical collections obtained.

After circumnavigating New Zealand the question arose whether the Endeavour should sail

in search of the supposed southern continent or make for the coast of New Holland, and the

latter course was determined upon because the condition of the ship was not considered

equal to encounter the stormy southern seas. The expedition arrived in the bay on April 28

and left on May 6, and an entry in Banks'sjournal, dated May 3, runs as followS:

Sir Joseph Banks, the Father of Australia"
