Since 1972, it has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park. DescriptionHaystack Island is about {{convert|6|km|abbr=off}} south-west of Stenhouse Bay. It is described as ‘a narrow wall of sheer cliffs, undermined, indented and marked by fresh scars and rockfalls’ and that ‘has been eroded to a series of tall lobes connected by thin necks of rock that narrow to an almost knife-edge ridge’. It is surrounded by a ‘fringing wave-cut reef’. The island is about {{convert|500|m|abbr=off}} long by a maximum width of about {{convert|120|m|abbr=off}} and with the tallest lobe having a height of {{convert|43|m|abbr=off}}. Its long axis is aligned in a north-west to south-east direction.[1][1] Access is reported as best done in calm seas and that the summit ridge can be reached from the island’s east coast via a rubble cone of rubble, taking care when climbing the slope’s ‘loose and crumbling’ surface. A survey carried out in 1982 by the responsible government agency used a helicopter to access the island’s summit.[1][4] A number of sources consider Haystack Island along with the Althorpe Islands and Seal Island to be a group of islands known as the Althorpe Islands Group.[2][3][7] Formation, geology and oceanographyHaystack Island was formed about 7350 years ago after sea levels rose at the start of the Holocene thereby separating Yorke Peninsula from Kangaroo Island.[4] Haystack Island consists of a seam of Bridgewater Formation calcarenite that sits on a largely submerged ridge of Gleesons Landing Granite.[5][6] Haystack Island rises from a depth of {{convert|20|m|abbr=off}} within {{convert|300|m|abbr=off}} from its southern shore.[7] Flora and faunaFloraA survey carried out in November 1982 found 11 species of plants making up a shrubland covering the island’s ridge including Grey Samphire, Marsh saltbush, and Nitre-bush in the deeper soils, and Cushion-bush, Round-leaved Pigface and Southern Sea-heath in the shallower soils.[8][9] FaunaA survey carried out in November 1982 reported evidence of the presence of the following vertebrate animals - the White-faced storm petrel by the presence of ‘shallow burrows’ used during the ‘summer breeding season’, Pacific gull by the existence of a ‘large midden of shell fragments was found on the highest dome, indicating a feeding site…’, and the White-bellied sea eagle by the presence of a ‘maintained nest’.[8][9] Protected areas statusSince 1972, Haystack Island has been part of the Althorpe Islands Conservation Park. Since 2007, it has been a prohibited area where access is only allowed by permit in order to protect the breeding population of seabirds.[10][11][12] Since 2012, the waters surrounding its shores are part of a habitat protection zone located within the boundaries of the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park.[13] References1. ^{{cite book | last1 = A.C. | first1 = Robinson | first2 = P.| last2 = Canty | first3 =T. | last3 = Mooney |first4=P. |last4= Rudduck | title = South Australia's offshore islands | location = Canberra | publisher = Australian Heritage Commission |url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/5a7dbb25-70b9-4ceb-bbfd-a25800961994/offshore-islands-gen.pdf | page=500 | date = 1996| isbn = 0-644350-11-3 }} {{Islands of South Australia |state=collapsed}}{{Yorke Peninsula}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Haystack Island}}2. ^{{cite book | last1 = A.C. | first1 = Robinson | first2 = P.| last2 = Canty | first3 =T. | last3 = Mooney |first4=P. |last4= Rudduck | title = South Australia's offshore islands | location = Canberra | publisher = Australian Heritage Commission |url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/5a7dbb25-70b9-4ceb-bbfd-a25800961994/offshore-islands-gen.pdf | page=286 | date = 1996| isbn = 0-644350-11-3 }} 3. ^{{cite enroute|175|2017|196}} 4. ^{{cite book | last1 = A.C. | first1 = Robinson | first2 = P.| last2 = Canty | first3 =T. | last3 = Mooney |first4=P. |last4= Rudduck | title = South Australia's offshore islands | location = Canberra | publisher = Australian Heritage Commission |url=http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/5a7dbb25-70b9-4ceb-bbfd-a25800961994/offshore-islands-gen.pdf | page=12 | date = 1996 | isbn = 0-644350-11-3 }} 5. ^1 {{cite book |title= Management Plan - Althorpe Islands, Goose Island and Troubridge Island Conservation Parks |author= |year=2009 |series= |publisher= Department of Environment & Heritage |location=Adelaide |isbn= 978-1-921466-76-2 |page =13|url= http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/files/3fbcb962-2f67-4e9b-ae0d-9e4f00b16923/cons-gen-althorpe-goose-troubridge-parkmgmtplan-adopted.pdf }} 6. ^{{cite journal| last =Fairclough| first =Martin C| authorlink =| title =KINGSCOTE Special 1:250 000 geological map| journal =MESA Journal| volume =47| issue =| pages =28–31| publisher =Government of South Australia, DMITRE| location =| date =December 2007| language =| url =http://www.pir.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0015/71034/MJ47_kingscote_map.pdf.| jstor =| issn =1326-3544| doi =| id =| mr =| zbl =| jfm =| accessdate =18 May 2014}}{{dead link|date=October 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} 7. ^{{Citation | author1=South Australia.
