The suburb of Cook in the Australian Capital Territory is named primarily after Captain James Cook, who discovered the eastern coast of Australia.
The suburb is also named for Sir Joseph Cook, who was Prime Minister of Australia from 1913-14 and knighted in 1918.
The citizens of Cook marked the James Cook Bi-Centenary (1770-1970) by the erection of this sundial.
