Ulimaroa information


Djurberg's map of "Polynesia, or the fifth part of the globe" (1780), showing Ulimaroa

Ulimaroa is a place mentioned in the journals of James Cook and Joseph Banks. Cook and Banks heard of it from the Maoris, who claimed that it lay many days' sail from New Zealand. The Swedish geographer Daniel Djurberg [sv] identified it with Australia, and Ulimaroa briefly became an alternative name for the continent as a result of this.
