Editing Mount Warning (section)

==Etymology==
On 16 May 1770, Captain [[James Cook]] was the first European to record seeing "… a remarkable sharp peaked Mountain lying inland…"<ref name ="Cook"/> from a point of land he named  Cape Byron. Just five hours later while sailing North, Cook was forced to change course to the East after encountering the dangerous reefs that run 3 miles to the East from [[Fingal Head (New South Wales)|Fingal Head]], now named Danger Reefs (Inner, South, and Outer reefs).<ref>Australian Hydrographic Chart "AUS 813"</ref>

The next morning, Cook recorded:<ref name="Cook"/>

{{blockquote|We now saw the breakers [reefs] again within us which we past at the distance of 1 League [5&nbsp;km], they lay in the Lat de of  38°..8' [later changed to 28°..8'] & stretch off East two Leagues [10&nbsp;km] from a point under which is a small Island. There situation may always be found by the peaked mountain before mentioned which bears SWBW from them this and on this account I have named Mount Warning it lies 7 or 8 Leagues [35-40&nbsp;km] inland in the latitude of  28°..22" S° the land is high and hilly about it but it is conspicuous enough to be distinguished from everything else.<ref name ="Cook">{{cite web |url=http://southseas.nla.gov.au/journals/cook/17700516.html |title=James Cook's Manuscript Daily Journal for 16 May 1770}}</ref>
The point off which these shoals lay I have named Point Danger  to the northward of it the land which is low trends NWBN but we soon found that it did not keep that direction long before it turned again to the northward.}}
