Cruises from Recherche Bay

Recherché Bay is located in SE Tasmania, just 10 km from the most southerly point of Australia. In 1792 and 1793 it was a landing place of the d’Entrecasteaux expedition to find the missing French explorer La Pérouse. It is named in honour of the Recherché (Research), one of the expedition's ships. (Lapérouse was a French Naval officer and explorer whose expedition vanished in Oceania.) The Bay indeed was the location of the first scientific expeditions in Australia (botany, ethnology and geophysics). Read more

During the 1830s and 1840s it was the site of a bay whaling station as well as a base for pilots guiding ships up the D'Entrecasteaux Channel towards Hobart.
