Currency and accuracy of the image

The image has two errors. Firstly,it shows the Flinders Chase National Park as ocuppying most of the west end of the island. This was the situation until 1993 when the national park was splitted up with the majority of the land being placed in a new protected area called the Ravine des Casoars Wilderness Protection Area. Secondly, the extent of Encounter Bay is not correct as it officially has been, from an Australian perspective, the body of water north of the territorial seas baseline which runs from Rosetta Head in the west to Younghusband Peninsula in the east since 1987. Also, the International Hydrographic Organization considers the waters marked as 'Encounter Bay' as being in the Great Australian Bight. Regards Cowdy001 (talk) 08:34, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
