Table Cape is an extinct volcano located near Wynyard on the North West of Tasmania, Australia, it is also the name of the locality which encompasses the geological feature. Table Cape is a more or less circular extinct volcano with a flat top, its northern and eastern faces rise steeply from Bass Strait to a height of approximately 170 metres (560 ft) above sea level.[2] It was named by British navigator, Matthew Flinders, as he and George Bass circumnavigated Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) in 1798 upon the Norfolk. Flinders also progressively named the nearby Circular Head, Three Hummock and Hunter Islands.[3]
Table Cape's top and surrounding areas are composed of fertile basalt soils and are heavily cultivated,[2] the area is renowned for the annual flowering of tulips during spring and accompanying tulip festival.[4] Table Cape locality has a population of 87.[1]
