Cape Gantheaume Conservation Park

Cape Gantheaume Conservation Park, formerly the Cape Gantheaume National Park, is a protected area in the Australian state of South Australia located on the south coast of Kangaroo Island. Attractions include Murray Lagoon and D'Estrees Bay. It also includes Pelorus Islet located about 7 km southeast of Cape Gantheaume.

Extent
As of 1993, the conservation park consists of the three following areas: a parcel of land on the west side of D'Estrees Bay, a parcel of land including both Murray's Lagoon and the land to its immediate south and Pelorus Islet, about 7 km east south-east of Cape Gantheaume.

History
The conservation park was first dedicated as a protected area in 1971 and then again in 1972 following the enactment of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. In 1993, a large portion of the conservation park was excised and proclaimed as the Cape Gantheaume Wilderness Protection Area.
