Description
Group of Islands east of Coromandel Peninsula.; When Captain Cook climbed ashore at Cooks Beach, Coromandel Peninsula, climbed the nearest hill (Cook's Park Lookout) to chart the progression of the planet Mercury at that time. Cook then named the outer islands the Mercury Group and that name has been used ever since.
