Children love to find their country of origin on this bronze, copper and enamel terrestrial globe, located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin. You can also trace the three routes to Australia taken by Captain James Cook, which are marked in bronze. Details of the voyages are on the bronze handrail. The Captain Cook Memorial Globe was designed by Walter Ralston Bunning and was installed in 1970, the Bicentenary Year, to mark Captain Cook's journeys to Australia.give it a goby Yahoo | 2008-07-10 00:08:13 | 
this place is great to stop at if you can be bothered walking around the lake. Not very good for people under 15 unless you have a history assignment on Captain cook. it tracks captain cooks voyages around the world and explains each one of them although it was better when it had water and was a fountain.
