Default Cairns historian reveals origin of roadside Captain Cook statue's 'Nazi salute'

Cairns historian reveals origin of roadside Captain Cook statue's 'Nazi salute'


June 17, 2020

The gigantic Captain Cook statue has stood beside a busy Cairns street for almost 50 years

A historian says the statue is based on an illustration of Cook gesturing at threatening Aboriginals

An online petition calling for the statue to be removed has more than 10,000 signatures
