Broad Sound

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Broad Sound is a large bay on the east coast of Australia, located in the state of Queensland 675 km northwest of the state capital, Brisbane.

The Torilla Peninsula forms the eastern side of the bay; Shoalwater Bay is on the other side of the peninsula. The Styx River flows into Broad Sound.

British explorer James Cook sighted the bay in May 1770, naming it for its size. [1]
