Deception Bay is in the most north-western part of Moreton Bay. The Caboolture River flows into the bay. Increased urban development has seen the river bring sediment loadings into the bay.[3]

History

In 1823, John Oxley originally named it Pumice Stone River believing it was a river because it was very shallow. Its present name refers Oxley being deceived by its appearance.[1]
