I was struck by the Cap'n Cook connection. This is where it all began for Australia. It struck me as less interesting astromically than historically. Having a look at the transit was a little like looking over Captain Cook's shoulder. I got a buzz out of it.

The Townsville Bulletin article struck me not so much for it's banality as for the use of the language (w.t.f for example). Is this journalism? I think not.
