- Trumpeter Islets (Tasmania)
The Trumpeter Islets comprise a group of two islets, with a combined area of about a hectare, in south-eastern Australia. They are part of the Trumpeter Islets Group, lying close to the southern end of the western coast of Tasmania, about 6 km north of the entrance to Port Davey. They are also part of the Southwest National Park, and thus within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site.[Brothers, Nigel; Pemberton, David; Pryor, Helen; & Halley, Vanessa. (2001).
