Cornelian Bay is a small suburb in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. It lies just north of the urban parkland, the Queens Domain. The bay itself is a safe anchorage for yacht owners. A waterfront restaurant and boathouses line the foreshore. Cornelian Bay Cemetery〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southern Regional Cemetery Trust ) 〕 and Crematorium, dominates the surrounding hillside. An oil refinery and fuel storage depot with port facilities were built on reclaimed land at Self's Point in 1951,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Self's Point Land Act 1951 )〕 between Newtown Bay and Cornelian Bay. ==History== Tasmanian Aboriginal people of the Mouheneenner〔(Parliament of Tasmania - House of Assembly Standing Orders ) "We acknowledge the traditional people of the land upon which we meet today, the Mouheneener people."〕 band lived by the River Derwent in the Cornelian Bay area for 8000 years – their shell middens can still be seen in the dark sands near the top of the low cliffs of Cornelian Point. The first English navigator to explore the River Derwent was Lieutenant John Hayes – in 1793 he came ashore at this location and named the bay for the semi-precious cornelian stones〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The History of Cornelian Bay Cemetery ) 〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cornelian Stone )〕 found on the beach. Soon after Sullivans Cove was settled in 1804, the Cornelian Bay site became the Government Farm, supplying fresh vegetables and other produce for the first residents of Hobart Town. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornelian Bay, Tasmania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
