Thomas Woolner depicted Cook with a telescope in his left hand and his right hand extended skyward. The statue is larger than Cook was himself. In 1931, The Sydney Morning Herald noted that his telescope is "at rest":Having looked through the telescope, he is satisfied that the great Southland is at last found – he is in the act of proclaiming his great discovery.The granite base is a single block weighing between fifteen and eighteen tons.
