Beecroft Peninsula is the spectacular northern headland of Jervis Bay. On the western and southern sides of the peninsula steep sandstone cliffs rise dramatically out of the ocean, up to 91m at its southernmost point, Point Perpendicular. White sandy beaches are found along the northern, eastern and southern sides interspersed with numerous intertidal reefs. Beecroft Peninsula encompasses an area of about 5250ha south of the town of Currarong, approximately 200 km south of Sydney,New South Wales. The historic Point Perpendicular lighthouse (and its grounds) constructed in 1899 at Point Perpendicular,is the southern tip of the peninsula and at the northern entrance to Jervis Bay. A large part of the peninsula, approximately 4200ha, is under the administration of the Royal Australian Navy for use as a live-firing range and is known as Beecroft Weapon Range. Access to the weapons range is restricted to the public at certain times. The public enjoy the peninsula for its stunning views, camping at Honeymoon Bay, walking, fishing, boating, and rockclimbing. ==Territorial Status== The whole peninsula is within New South Wales in the state electorate of South Coast,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.office.elections.nsw.gov.au/districts/profiles/2015/South_Coast )〕 and the federal electorate of Gilmore〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.aec.gov.au/profiles/nsw/gilmore.htm )〕. Ownership of crown land in the southern coastal strip of the peninsula was transferred from New South Wales to the Commonwealth in 1909 by the same act that transferred ownership of the future Jervis Bay Territory on the southern side of the bay and surrendered jurisdiction of the Australian Capital Territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2004C00608 )〕 In 1915, jurisdiction over the Jervis Bay Territory was transferred to the Commonwealth but the region on the Beecroft Peninsula was excluded from the transfer and it remains a part of New South Wales.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/C2004C00038 )〕 Most of the remaining land on the peninsula has subsequently been purchased by the Commonwealth and is used by The Royal Australian Navy. Because of the association with the nearby Jervis Bay Territory and because it is occupied by the Navy, there is sometimes the mistaken belief that the southern strip of the peninsula is a part of the ACT or a separate Commonwealth territory.〔For example a 1995 Geology map produced by The Australian Geological Survey Organisation (Geoscience Australia) includes this strip in Jervis Bay Territory() and the Shoalhaven City Council excludes the area from its land-use maps().〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beecroft Peninsula」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
