Venus Bay, Victoria

Venus Bay is a wide bay and a township on that bay on the east coast of Victoria, Australia. At the 2006 census Venus Bay had a population of 509. The name Venus Bay was given to the bay by a French expedition under Nicholas Baudin. This was apparently after George Bass's trading ship the Venus. (The expedition traded with Bass in Sydney in around 1801.) The Tour de Tarwin is held every Easter and is a joint Venus Bay / Tarwin Lower initiative. Whilst it is a cycling event at heart, everyone including walkers are encouraged to participate.
