Islands of South Australia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the island group in South Australia. For the conservation park, see Althorpe Islands Conservation Park.
The Althorpe Islands are a group of islands in the Investigator Strait, off the south-western tip of Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. The group includes Althorpe Island and two rocky islets immediately to its west known as The Boobs. These are located 7.7 km south-southwest of Cape Spencer on the mainland. Closer inshore are Seal Island and Haystack Island, which together with Althorpe Island and The Boobs constitute the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park.[1] A management plan for the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park was adopted in 2009.[2] The islands are uninhabited and can only be accessed by sea or by helicopter.
