Empire Bay, New South Wales
Empire Bay is a suburb on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is part of the local government area. Empire Bay was originally known as ''Sorrento'' being the name of a large boarding house in the locality. The land was subdivided in 1905. The name changed to Empire Bay in 1908 when a Postal Receiving Office was opened in a building attached to the boarding house. The name was changed because there was already a post office named Sorrento in Victoria and Empire Bay was chosen because there was no other such name in the Commonwealth. The name was officially changed on 24 May 1908. William Huggart who owned ''Sorrento House'' was the first postmaster. In 1909 the status of the office was changed to Post Office. It was moved into C. C. Swinburne's general store when he became Postmaster in 1910.Pratt, Eileen (1978) ''Place Names of the Central Coast''.

Rock Davis
Rock Davis (1833-1904) was a shipbuilder, mainly associated with his shipyard, the Rock Davis shipyard, colloquially known as 'the Big Shed', on Brisbane Water at Blackwall, New South Wales, Australia. After his death, the business of ship building was carried on by his second son, also Rock Davis. The shipyard constructed around 165 wooden-hulled vessels, between 1862 and 1913. Family background and early life Rock Davis was born at sea—aboard the ship ''Mary Catherine'' on which the Davis family were migrating to New South Wales—on 2 July 1833. His parents were William Davis (1791–1846) and his second wife Sarah, née Mayer (1798–1845). His unusual first name is said to have been either after the Rock of Gibraltar—the ship was said to be near there at the time of his birth—or after the captain of ''Mary Catherine'', Benjamin Rock Jones. William Davis was a school teacher, and he and his Irish family had no background as shipwrights. At the time of his birth, Rock ...
