Admiral Sir Hugh Palliser was Captain James Cook's friend and patron. He felt that Britain had not recognised Cook and his work in tangible form, so after Cook's death he erected the monument depicted here in the grounds of his own estate, Vache Park.

These photographs were aquired by Prime Minister Peter Fraser while in Britain for a Commonwealth Prime Ministers Conference.
