Memory Cove

The Memory Cove is a bay located on the east coast of Jussieu Peninsula on Eyre Peninsula in South Australia approximately 15km south-east of Port Lincoln. It is one of the natural features named by Matthew Flinders in memory of the eight crew who were lost from a cutter that capsized sometime after being launched from the HM Sloop Investigator to search for water on 21 February 1802. Since 2004, the coastline enclosing the bay has been part of the Memory Cove Wilderness Protection Area.
