**Jussieu Peninsula** is a [peninsula](/source/Peninsula) located at the south east end of [Eyre Peninsula](/source/Eyre_Peninsula) in [South Australia](/source/South_Australia). It is bounded by Proper Bay and Spalding Cove within the natural harbour known as Port Lincoln to the north, [Spencer Gulf](/source/Spencer_Gulf) to the east and the [Great Australian Bight](/source/Great_Australian_Bight) to the south. While it was first explored and mapped by [Matthew Flinders](/source/Matthew_Flinders) during February 1802, Flinders did not name it. In 1913, the name proposed by [François Péron](/source/Fran%C3%A7ois_P%C3%A9ron) and [Louis de Freycinet](/source/Louis_de_Freycinet) from [Baudin's expedition](/source/Baudin_expedition_to_Australia) when it visited later in 1802 was declared as the peninsula's official name by the [Government of South Australia](/source/Government_of_South_Australia). Jussieu refers to the French botanist, [Antoine Laurent de Jussieu](/source/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 areas](/source/Protected_area): the [Lincoln National Park](/source/Lincoln_National_Park) and the [Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area](/source/Memory_Cove_Wilderness_Protection_Area).[3][4][5]

## History

A shore-based bay whaling station is believed to have operated at Spalding Cove between 1829 and 1832.[6]
