GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: French research and supply vessel "Marion Dufresne". Year of discovery: 2003. History: Named from the nearby Bonney Coast, a 200km-long stretch of narrow continental shelf between Portland (Victoria) and Robe (South Australia). The coast itself is named from the coastal freshwater Lake Bonney SE, discovered in 1839 by early pioneer Charles Bonney (1813-1897) whilst exploring a coastal stock route. In 1844 the lake was officially named after Bonney by Governor George Grey who also appointed Bonney as the Commissioner of Crown Lands. Later, Bonney became a member of the first Ministry of South Australia. |
