Surprised that it had not been grounded already, Cook hiked to the highest point on the island to figure out how to navigate back out to open waters. These days, this same vantage point is called Cook\u2019s Look, reachable via a challenging four-kilometre track that rewards intrepid hikers with panoramic views of the entire island and reef beyond. &nbsp;This wasn\u2019t Cook\u2019s only contribution \u2013 he also gave the island its name, having noticed plenty of monitor lizards on his hike up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Queensland<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Luxury Escapes: Discover Queensland\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_006RF00000ZAs6DYAT\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_hotel cacheid_3eada4ac630036920d96ea61e9027425\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/offer\/oaks-sunshine-coast-oasis-resort-queensland-australia\/006RF00000ZAs6DYAT\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"offer Flash carousel LuxPlus   \" data-name=\"Oaks Sunshine Coast Oasis Resort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/xhg5l49r0jjthy8o96cg.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/xhg5l49r0jjthy8o96cg.webp 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/xhg5l49r0jjthy8o96cg.webp 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/xhg5l49r0jjthy8o96cg.webp 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/xhg5l49r0jjthy8o96cg.webp 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/xhg5l49r0jjthy8o96cg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Oaks Sunshine Coast Oasis Resort, Caloundra, Queensland\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><\/div><div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>Caloundra, Queensland<\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Oaks Sunshine Coast Oasis Resort<\/div><div class=\"tagline\">Sunshine Coast Fun-Filled Escape Steps From Golden Beach with Waterpark &#038;
