Explorers: Cook and the Pacific, sentence 3

Think of a new neighbour moving in and telling everyone he found the street: when Cook claimed the east coast of Australia for Britain in 1770, Aboriginal people had lived there for more than 50,000 years.

Who acts: you, new neighbour, Cook, Aboriginal people · What happens: think, move in, tell, find, claim, live · To what, where: everyone, street, east coast, 1770 · Speech: someone speaks here
