Was it Captain Cook that came ashore or the French? Cook was great at recording facts in writing, songs....well they can be misconstred just like Chinese whispers

[@bobsander9306]

It was Cook and his crew of 98

The title is a bit misleading! Their is a bit that might have been CCook the rest is just opinions Ive seen trees in the bush like that its caused when another tree falls and scraps the bark but its just my opinion!
Who was murdered and killed?

[@sprintershepherd4359]

look up Australian frontier wars and you will find out who was killed
yes trees do get scars from other trees striking them . but it usually isnt as uniformed or symmetrical as this scar .. there are heaps of scars on trees all around australia made by our nations first peoples . in many places the white fella would cut down these trees so the black fella would have a harder time proving that the white fella is on his land . they also destroyed bora rings . engravings paintings and pretty much anything that was proof of aboriginal occupation
