WHAT’S IN A NAME?

“Its waters stretch across to Bundaberg, then back south into Hervey Bay proper, where whales frolic”

A long Australia’s east coast is a bay formed by Fraser Island protruding out into the Coral Sea. Its waters stretch across to Bundaberg, then back south into Hervey Bay proper, where whales frolic with their calves each spring.

Nautical charts produced by the Australian Government Hydrographic Office and used by whale watch vessels, visiting sailors, motoryacht cruisers and increasingly by charterers and superyachts, identify this as Hervey Bay. The town on its shores, which became the city of Hervey Bay in 1984, is named after it.

The AHO has been publishing nautical charts since 1942. According to its own site, “They are relied upon and trusted by Australian and international commercial vessels, recreational vessels, and the Royal Australian Navy”.
