Troubridge Point is a headland that sticks out into the sea in South Australia. It is on the south coast of Yorke Peninsula, about 11 km (6.8 mi) southwest of Edithburgh. It is the west side of the entrance to Gulf St Vincent.

Description

Troubridge Point is the most east point of the Yorke Peninsula coast that touches Investigator Strait. It is where two coastlines end — one from Cape Spencer in the west and the other from Sultana Point in the north at Gulf St Vincent. It is the west side of the opening to Gulf St Vincent. In 2014, Troubridge Point was inside the area called Honiton.[1][2][3][4]

Formation, geology and oceanography

Troubridge Point was made when the sea level reached its current height 7,500 years ago after the sea started to rise at the beginning of the Holocene (a time period).[5] The cliff at Troubridge Point is made of a sedimentary rock called Port Willinga Formation.[6] The water next to Troubridge Point is 10 m (33 ft) deep at the bottom of the cliff..[7]

History

Troubridge Point was named by the British explorer Matthew Flinders in 1802. It was named for Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge who was a supporter of Flinder's voyage in the Investigator. Other features in the area were named Troubridge Hill, Troubridge Shoals, and Troubridge Island.[8]

Economic activity

In 2014, the land near Troubridge Point was used for farming.[9]
