Animal rights organisation Peta is campaigning to change the name of Tasmania’s Eggs and Bacon Bay to a more vegan-friendly alternative. Paul said Peta’s suggestion that the name Eggs and Bacon bay encouraged poor dietary choices, or even inspired the occasional cooked breakfast, was “ludicrous”. Eggs and Bacon bay is a small locality at the mouth of the Huon River, about 60km south of Hobart. “To me, Eggs and Bacon bay doesn’t mean anything more than a beautiful little beach out the back of Cygnet.”Tasmania has a number of uncommon place names. On Tuesday the controversial animal rights group wrote to the Huon Valley council, which includes the bay, urging it to rename the area Apple and Cherry bay in honour of the region’s horticulture industry.
