'''Jussieu Peninsula''' is a [[peninsula]] located at the south east end of [[Eyre Peninsula]] in [[South Australia]]. It is bounded by Proper Bay and Spalding Cove within the natural harbour known as Port Lincoln to the north, [[Spencer Gulf]] to the east and the [[Great Australian Bight]] to the south. While it was first explored and mapped by [[Matthew Flinders]] during February 1802, Flinders did not name it. In 1913, the name proposed by [[François Péron]] and [[Louis de Freycinet]] from [[Baudin expedition to Australia|Baudin's expedition]] when it visited later in 1802 was declared as the peninsula's official name by the [[Government of South Australia]]. Jussieu refers to the French botanist, [[Antoine Laurent de Jussieu]]. While parts of its surface have been cleared and used for agricultural purposes in the past, it is currently occupied by two [[protected area]]s: the [[Lincoln National Park]] and the [[Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area]].<ref>{{Citation | author1=Manning, Geoffrey H | title=Manning's place names of South Australia from Aaron Creek to Zion Hill | publication-date=2006 | publisher=Gould Books | edition=[Extended and rev. ed.]|page=221 | isbn=978-0-947284-60-2 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Lincoln National Park Management Plan|url= http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/2b8b7120-6e6b-481c-86d8-9e4f00b1b08c/PARKS_PDFS_LINCOLN_NP_MP.pdf. |publisher=Department of Environment Water and Natural Resources|access-date=26 January 2014|pages=1 & 25|year=2004}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area Management Plan,|url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/0c625c92-46c3-46e0-b564-9e4f00b1bca2/PARKS_PDFS_MEMORYCOVE_WPA_MP.pdf.|publisher=Department of Environment Water and Natural Resources|access-date=26 January 2014|pages=1|year=2005}}</ref>
