Moreton Bay
Moreton Bay is a large bay on the eastern coast of Australia 19km from Brisbane, Queensland.
History
Moreton Bay and its islands were inhabited by Aboriginal tribes. The Bay was named by Captain Cook who sailed past its entrance in 1770. Matthew Flinders was the first recorded European to enter the Bay in 1799 touching at the Pumicestone Passage, Redcliffe and Coochiemudlo Island. He was followed by John Oxley who explored the Brisbane River in 1823. On a subsequent visit in the following year Oxley established the first European settlement in the Bay at the present site of Redcliffe.
