Division of Cook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Division of Cook is an Australian Electoral Division in New South Wales. The division was created in 1969 and is named for James Cook, who mapped the east coast of Australia in 1770. It is located in the southern suburbs of Sydney, including Caringbah, Cronulla, Miranda and Sylvania. In the 1970s it was a marginal seat, but demographic change has made it fairly safe for the Liberal Party.
