In 1770,
Point Hicks was Captain
Cook's first sighting of the east coast of
Australia. It wasn't until the 1830's that the European settlers and pastoralists arrived. By the 1850's most of the good land was occupied by these pastoralists.
Two national parks around Mallacoota and Wingan Inlet were set aside in the 1900's. Then in 1970 Captain
Cook National Park was established at
Point Hicks. In 1979, all of these parks were combined and the area enlarged to form the current
Croajingolong National Park.
