Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay, enclosed by the north part of Fraser Island on its east and the coastline extending from Bundaberg to Urangan, was named by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770. Augustus John Hervey (1724-79), 3rd Earl of Bristol, was a career naval officer, commander in chief of the Mediterranean (1763) and in line for a lordship of the Admiralty (1771). Described as active and brave, but reckless and over-confident, he died without a legitimate heir.
