George Collingridge published his book 'Discovery of Australia' in 1895 with much personal and intellectual abuse. He stated that there had been landfalls on the Australian coast long before Cooks' landfall on the eastern seaboard in 1770, and because he had not studied history at university level, his research was received with disdain by contemporary Sydney academics. Time has proven him correct, "since then, others have researched and published on this topic and certain aspects of George Collingridge's work would not stand up to close scrutiny of modern-day critical historians. The discovery of Australia published in 1895 nevertheless must take its place as original and pioneering contribution to Australian historiography.".
