D'Entrecasteaux Channel ("The Channel")You may not know that the first ship to explore the Channel area was under the command of Rear Admiral Bruni D'Entrecasteaux - hence the local names. Snug is situated at the northern end of the Channel, and was named not long after the colony at Hobart was founded because the Snug River inlet was a "snug and agreeable location".
