	Abel Janszoon Tasman - LoveToKnow 1911
		On the 2nd of June 1639 Tasman, along with Matthew (Matthijs Hendricxsen) Quast, was despatched by Antony Van Diemen, governorgeneral of the Dutch East Indies (1636-45), on a voyage to the north-western Pacific, in quest of certain "islands of gold and silver," supposed to lie in the ocean east of Japan.
		Tasman and his company believed the newly discovered land to form part of the same great antarctic continent as the other Staten landt which Schouten and Lemaire had sighted and named to the east of Tierra del Fuego.
		Tasman's achievements were coldly received by the Dutch colonial authorities; but on the 4th of October 1644 they rewarded him with the rank of commander (he had frequently enjoyed the use of the title already).

		The name Tasman Bay is generally applied to the broad triangular indentation, approximately 47 miles across and 35 miles deep, in the northern coast of the South Island between Separation Point and D'Urville Island.
		The bay was probably formed during the early Pleistocene glacial period, when thick gravels were deposited in the Moutere depression extending south from the head of the bay, and when sea level may have been as much as 50 fathoms lower than at present.
		The chief ports in Tasman Bay are Nelson, Mapua, and Motueka.

	Hervey Bay Whale Watching
		On their return journey they enter Hervey Bay and spend between 3 and 5 days resting or feeding their new born calves, safe from pack-shark attack and Killer Whales, before commencing the 5000 km trek down south.
		The reason for this migration is simple: while their food supply (krill) is in Antarctica, Humpback whales must give birth in warm waters, as the calves are born without blubber, the layer of fat that protects them from the icy waters.
		An all-white humpback visits Hervey Bay on occasions and this generates a great deal of excitement as good photos of the whale are still rare.
