Best Answer

Diaries and journals of the first fleeters labeled the indigenous as Barbaric, Native, Primitive and even stupid.

Addition:

However, James Cook was not one of the First Fleeters. James Cook charted Australia's east coast 18 years before the First Fleet came.

Cook's first encounters with the Aborigines of Australia were simple communications in which the indigenous people indicated to Cook that a kangaroo's name was gangurru. Cook did regard the Aborigines as simple, primitive savages, but he did not call them barbaric. He also did not recognise their claim to the land, referring to the continent as "terra nullius", or "no-man's land".

James Cook was one of the first (but by no means thefirst) European explorers to come into contact with New Zealand and Australia. Neither was populated by any white people at that stage.
