This 5c commemorative stamp from Australia was issued in 1970 to mark the bicentenary of Captain James Cook’s landing in Botany Bay in 1770. The artwork depicts Cook and his crew encountering Indigenous Australians, symbolizing the historical significance and cultural impact of the event. A kangaroo and Cook's ship, Endeavour, are also featured, representing the natural and exploratory spirit of early Australia. Part of a larger series, the stamp reflects both colonial history and Indigenous presence.
