It is approximately 2.7 km long, 180 ha in size its elevation above sea level is estimated to be 43 metres.[1] It is approximately 35 km south-west of Port Lincoln in the Great Australian Bight.[2] The island forms part of the Lincoln National Park.[3] HistoryLiguanea Island was named by British explorer Matthew Flinders on 18 February 1802. The following day, Flinders named the nearby headland Cape Wiles "after a worthy friend at Liguanea, in Jamaica." In Flinders' atlas (Plate 17) there is a view of the cape and the island as seen from his ship, The Investigator.[4] The same year, French explorer Nicolas Baudin named the island as Ile Guyton.[4] In 1905, the ship Governor Musgrave called by Liguanea Island while searching for the wreckage of the lost vessel, Loch Vennachar. A newspaper correspondent on the vessel described the island as "a large bare block of forbidding granite some miles in extent."[5] In 1914, a buck and two does were placed on Liguanea Island.[6] The island first obtained protected area status as a fauna conservation reserve declared under the Crown Lands Act 1929-1966 on 16 March 1967.[7] On 26 May 1980 biodiversity data was collected on Liguanea Island. Among there species recorded were Australian sea-lion, little penguin, Cape Barren goose and bush rat.[8] References1. ^Liguanea Island Geoview.info Accessed 2014-01-10. {{coord|34|59|20|S|135|37|17|E|display=title|region:AU-SA_type:isle}}{{Islands of South Australia |state=collapsed}}{{Eyre Peninsula |state=autocollapse}}2. ^Property Location Browser V2 Government of South Australia.
