Veteran Isles
Veteran Isles ((フランス語: Ile du Veteran); also known as the Veteran Islands) is a pair of islands in South Australia which is part of the Pearson Isles which itself is part of the larger island group known as the Investigator Group. It is located about west south-west of Cape Finniss on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula. It was discovered as part of the Pearson Isles by Matthew Flinders on 13 February 1802. The island was given its name in August 1969 in order to preserve a name used within the locality by the Baudin expedition. The island has enjoyed protected area status since at least 1972 and since 2011, it been part of the Investigator Group Wilderness Protection Area.
==Description==
Veteran Isles is a pair of peaks located about south of Pearson Island and about apart. The northern island rises to a height of above sea level while the south island reaches a height of . One source reports a combined area of for both islands. The northern island “retains pockets of granitic soil’ that supports a shrubland on its upper levels while southern island is bare of soil and therefore vegetation due to wave action. As 1996, access via boat was suggested as being “hazardous” due to the combination of a steep shoreline and sea conditions that need to be calm.〔〔RAN, 1979〕
