First-time travelers to Tasmania will discover not only new and unusual flora and fauna. They can also expect to find an unexpected tapestry of relatively unexpected place names.

An excellent case in point is the name “Eggs and Bacon Bay.” According to animal rights activists and a few hopeful food nutritionists, it is high time that a more vegan-friendly alternative be found.
