Port Davey is an oceanic inlet located in the south west region of Tasmania, Australia.
Port Davey was named in honour of Thomas Davey, a former Governor of Tasmania.[1] Port Davey is contained within the Port Davey/Bathurst Harbour Marine Nature Reserve,[2] the Melaleuca to Birchs Inlet Important Bird Area[3] and the Southwest National Park, part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The Toogee name of the port is Poynduc.[4]
With the support of the then Premier of Tasmania, Robert Cosgrove (in office from 1939), Australian journalist Critchley Parker proposed a Jewish settlement at Port Davey in 1941.[5]
