G’Day folks!
Hi from sunny Queensland Australia.
My wife have a small picture framing business that came with a plotter and 2 customers who wanted some signs. That was 2 years ago and signs makes up about 80% of our business now. I absolutely love it. Still working on reducing the size of my scrap heap. But with help from sites like this the learning curve is much shorter. may actually move out of the apprentice stage before I retire.
ps how do you add a picture
Thanks Mike -

Hi Michael
Welcome aboard mate
Why is it called deception bay?
Nothing to do with those pirates is it? 😀 -
Hi John
As far as I know it was named by Captain Cook way back in time 1788 I think he sailed past this rather large expansive Bay protected on three sides from the elements and looked like a perfect harbor for a naval fleet. upon closer examination from the boats long boat it turned out that most of the bay was and still is very shallow only a few feet and therefor was very Deceptive.
As far as I am aware that’s how we got the name.
Thanks to all for the welcome

Why is it called deception bay?
Nothing to do with those pirates is it? 😀The town of Deception Bay lies 30km north of Brisbane in the south-eastern corner of the bay of the same name which separates the Redcliffe Peninsula and Bribie Island.
The bay was named in 1823 by indefatigable explorer John Oxley who was so taken in by the shallow water that he originally thought he was navigating a river.
Today those same shallow, sheltered waters make Deception Bay a popular haunt of anglers, boaties and swimmers.
Historically, the town and the bay have close links with pioneering scientists Joseph Bankroft and his son Thomas, who worked a nearby farm where their experiments helped control rust in wheat and other tropical plant diseases.
It is a central base from which visitors can explore Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast and its hinterland. It is part of the Caboolture shire which extends from the coast into the Glass House Mountains and the D’Aguilar Ranges.
Isn’t google wonderful :lol1:

Mike:lol1: :lol1: sorry mike. I thought yours sounded good too, but I did think John Oxley had some involvement, so I thought I’d check.
Don’t you have a seafood restaurant named after him up your way somewhere, or is that on the brisbane river. Too expensive for me to eat there wherever it is 😳

Can I add that mrs Bancroft was very ill so her husband had a bath chiseled out of the natural rock on the foreshore when the tide came in the servants carried her down a rough path to allow her to soak in the sea water the bath is just down from our house.

Nice part of the world. I suppose you’re out fishing every opportunity? http://www.queenslandholidays.com.au/de … ption-bay/

Shane I couldn’t fish to save my life.
My only claim to fame is that when one of our sons was trying to teach me to fish I actually caught a large piece of chicken with feathers. fought like 10 tigers when he stopped laughing we went home. he hasn’t offered since. -
welcome michael… i must warn you now UKSB or OzUKSB can become very addictive and should carry a health warning!
-
There you go Michael!
Not to worry!
It can all be a bit deceptive
I think we should leave it at bay -

As he reeled the line back in, my son noticed something on the hook, and squealed with delight that he’d caught his first fish. All the others on the beach came over to congratulate him. Meanwhile we were trying to explain that it was not a fish, but the bait on the hook.
I’ve never taken him fishing since. Even now, some 6 years later, he remembers the experience as his first catch :lol1: I hate fishing… my wife loves it… Now, I let her fish with the kids, and I go and take photos. 😉

when i was trying to teach my son to fish we didn’t use bait or hooks that way no problems with deciding if we could eat what committed suicide on our lines after a few years my son noticed so we had to get hooks and Bait the guy in the shop asked "now what are you fishing for" he was not amused when I said "fish" what did he think I was fishing for. Gloria My wife loves fishing also
