| Details (Known As) |
Menge's Island and Cave |
| Registered Name |
Menge's Island |
| Significance |
The site is associated with 'Professor' Johannes Menge, who arrived in the Colony in 1837 and was a well known educator, ambassador between settlers and natives, geologist, and agriculturalist. He was regarded as the Father of South Australian mineralogy and was instrumental in selecting some of the State's finest land for his benefactor George Fife Angas and for Pastor Kavel's Lutheran immigrants.
Menge's Island became a base for all Menge's pursuits. It has significant potential for archaeological research. (L. Brasse Assessment of Heritage Value Menge's Island. nd)
