Tin Can Bay is a town in south east Queensland, Australia. The seaside town is located on a deep but narrow sheltered inlet in the Gympie Local Government Area, 218 kilometres north of the state capital, Brisbane. At the 2006 census, Tin Can Bay had a population of 1,918.
It is suggested that the town's name derives from the indigenous word, "Tuncanbar", thought to refer to the dugongs that frequent the inlet. European settlement began in the 1870s as the point where logs would be floated to the timber mills at Maryborough. Tin Can Bay later became, and still remains, an important fishing port, with a focus on prawns as well as recreational fishing. There is an excellent public boat ramp into Snapper Creek with boat-washing facilities and ample trailer parking.
Tin Can Bay is the nearest town to the Australian Army's Wide Bay Training Area and a vehicular ferry operates at nearby Inskip Point providing access to Fraser Island.
Other recreational facilities include hotels, holiday units and caravan parks, with houseboats and yachts for hire. Active sports facilities include an 18-hole golf course, two bowls clubs, tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool. The Tin Can Bay Country Club is the main recreational focus for residents and visitors serving Tin Can Bay, Cooloola Cove and Rainbow Beach areas of Cooloola Shire, Queensland, Australia.
An important tourist feature is the regular arrival of wild Indo-Pacific dolphins which usually appear early mornings next to the boat ramp. These dolphins can be hand fed under close supervision.
Tin Can Bay is a very pretty place, with its main attraction being the early morning dolphin feeding. It is one of only three places around the whole of Australia, where you can officially hand feed the dolphins in the wild.
If you are interested in feeding the dolphins you should head to Barnacles Bait and Cafe, which is located at the end of the Tin Can Bay Marina. Feeding starts at about 8am and continues until approximately 11am (unless the dolphins decide to leave beforehand).
The dolphins that you will see at Tin Can Bay are Pacific Humpback Dolphins, which are slightly different in shape to the well known Bottlenose Dolphins.

Boost Juice Bars
A boost is born!
While accompanying her husband Jeff on a trip the US, Janine Allis saw a hole in the Australian market for a healthy fast food alternative. As a consumer she had always struggled to find anything healthy to eat and drink when she was short of time, particularly to find something healthy for her boys.
So upon returning to Australia she developed a business plan and raised $250,000 through friends investing in the concept to get the plan underway.
Janine consulted with nutritionists and naturopaths to create a menu of healthy juices and smoothies that were free of preservatives, artificial flavours and colours. She is passionate about creating products that are as healthy as possible, and continues to research new ways to make the products better and better. Her range of TD4 low fat frozen yoghurts used in the smoothies contain live cultures streptococcus thermophillis and lactobacillus delbruekil for added nutritional benefits.
The first store opened in Adelaide in 2000, and over the following six years more than 189 stores have opened throughout Australia and throughout the rest of the world.
Janine has experienced every facet of the company, from painting the floor in the first store and working in the store, to negotiating the purchase of another juice bar chain. This has allowed her to fully understand and develop the growing business, and implement specific procedures as part of the total business plan.
