CAPTAIN Cook is making a second journey to Australia - but this time it will be via coins at a shopping centre.
Middlesbrough's Teesside Lions Club will be asking shoppers at the town's Cleveland Centre to donate a coin to trace the explorer's journey on a map.
Members of the club will be joined at the event, on Saturday, October 28, by the 9th Redcar Scout Group, with half the proceeds being donated to charities and the other to Scout funds.
The day has been organised as part of the Lions' annual fundraising drive to enable them to deliver about 50 Christmas parcels to needy people in the area.
One of its organisers, Malcolm Broomfield, said: "We have done this once before in the Cleveland Centre and we managed not only to cover Captain Cook's route but do a return journey, then cover part of Australia with coins.
"We are hoping that we will be as successful later this month."
The journey of coins will start at 9am and finish when the centre closes
