AugustBourke named Hobson’s Bay for Captain Hobson of “HMS Rattlesnake”, whose surveys and advice on channels and the settlements had been invaluable to Bourke. The Bay had been called “Anchorage” by surveyor Grimes in his exploration of 1803, and “Squatters Bay” by the officers of “HMS Rattlesnake” in 1836, as they watched sailors unloading livestock there. The lower salt section of the “Yarra River” carried the name “Hobson’s River” well into the 1840’s. Check Ozships lists. | ||||||||||||||
