Cape Jackson (Шаблон:Lang-mi) is a peninsula in Marlborough, in the South Island of New Zealand. It lies between Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui and Cook Strait.[1]

Cape Jackson's history involves gold mining, sheep farming, and more recently carbon farming (growing trees for carbon sequestration purposes).

Cape Jackson is privately owned. The land is reserved as a private wilderness park known as Queen Charlotte Wilderness Park, and is available to the public via arrangement with the owners.Шаблон:Cn

The cliffs on Cape Jackson are known as Шаблон:Lang, Шаблон:Gloss, named for their resemblance to nets being hung out to dry. According to legend Kupe left a fishing net here.[2][3]

Major efforts are underway to regenerate the native bush which once covered the Шаблон:Convert of the peninsula.

Naming

Cape Jackson was named by James Cook on the 29th of March 1770, after Sir George Jackson, one of the Admiralty secretaries and a friend and patron of Cook.[2]

Te Taonui-a-Kupe is the Māori name for the point, literally Шаблон:Gloss, the legendary polynesian explorer.[2][3][4]
