Deception Bay

▪ Queensland, Australia

bay and resort town, southeastern Queensland, Australia. In 1823 the explorer John Oxley named the local stream the Deception River (now called the Caboolture River), because of the numerous shoals at its mouth. The river gave its name to the bay into which it flows, which in turn gave its name to the community. The town of Deception Bay offers safe swimming areas, fishing, boating, and aquatic sports. It lies about 9 miles (14 km) southeast of Caboolture and 25 miles (40 km) north of Brisbane. The city of Redcliffe is located on the peninsula (Redcliffe Peninsula) that forms the southern limits of the bay. Pop. (2006) 17,904.
