Deception Bay

Deception Bay is the home of the first David Teasdale Real Estate office.

Deception Bay was so named by Lt John Oxley in 1823 who thought the bay was a river and because of his mistake and the shallowness, named it Deception Bay.

Dr Joseph Bancroft was a pioneer in experimenting in native plants for their health properties and through his meatworks, the preservation of meat, fish and vegetables. His son Thomas carried on the tradition with some work in cultivating cotton and castor oil. A rough-hewn pyramidal block of granite stands today on the foreshore highlighting the towering biological achievements of these two doctors. The area was once large parcels of land supporting dairying and farming and while some large blocks remain today, most have been subdivided in line with providing housing for a growing community. Deception bay is located on the northside of Brisbane. Approximately 30 Km or 35 mins via several road network options from the Brisbane City CBD. The size of Deception Bay is approximately 18km2.
