Excerpt from Statistical Sketch of South Australia The coast-line is also deeply indented by two large gulfs the eastern, St. Vincent's Gulf, running inland to the north ward for eighty-five miles, and the larger, Spencer's Gulf, run ning N. N.e. Towards the heart of the colony for one hundred and eighty miles. These gulfs have a mean breadth of thirty and fifty miles respectively, and both taper towards their northern ends. St. Vincent's Gulf is sheltered by Kangaroo Island, ninety miles in length, which lies to the southward Of it, leaving two fine entrances, one from the westward through Investigator's Straits, twenty-eight miles broad, and the other from the eastward through Backstairs Passage, eight miles in width. The principal agricultural and mineral districts of the Colony are contiguous to the two gulfs, the shores of which are seven hundred and eighty miles in length, the greater part being entirely protected from the ocean swell. Numerous out ports and shipping places, of which there are over fifty, enable settlers to ship their produce at a very small cost. These gulfs are divided by Yorke's Peninsula, some one hundred and twenty miles long, and twenty miles broad, having large tracts of wheat-growing land, and the principal seat of mining industry.
