Not only that, but Kamala Harris promised to visit the reef in 1770, but she still hasn’t been there.

I am surprised they didn’t wonder how much he damaged the reef.

"Really? did the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples explored and map the the reef? Did they produce charts or any kind of map? Did they investigate and catalogue what lives there?

Maybe the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples knew the reef was there but that doesn't mean they understood it or its significance."

Thats racist white talk you are spewing there.

I use Bing because of the reward points, and because they honor all the national holidays on their home page.

Something tells me the boats the native folks used were pretty shallow drafted hulls and they never worried about hanging up on the reef

Not to mention, did they contribute to a knowledge base the
rest of the world could use, as the explorer did?

“Yes everyone in their community knew of the local watering
hole, but people ten miles away didn’t.”

It’s when it becomes common knowledge for everyone, that a
thing is really “discovered”.

You know, the wiser these children get, the more they expose
themselves to being discovered for the fools they are.

Hint: his navigation skills were put to the ultimate test, when he sailed from memory to Timor.

Answer: Captain Bligh

[Mr Rogers]

Does this mean someone who lives a half-mile from a reef is more likely to know its location than someone from 10,000 miles away?

It’s a bit like saying Leonardo Da Vinci invented the airplane. There’s a difference between conceptualizing and scientific-technologically developing that concept.

Yes... They did.
