- Harbour Islets (Tasmania)
The Harbour Islets are a group of two adjacent small rocky islands, joined at low tide, with a combined area of 3.13 ha, in south-eastern Australia. They are part of Tasmania’s Trefoil Island Group, lying close to Cape Grim, Tasmania’s most north-westerly point, in Bass Strait. .
Fauna
Recorded breeding seabird and shorebird species include Little Penguin, Short-tailed Shearwater, White-faced Storm-Petrel, Pacific Gull, Silver Gull, Sooty Oystercatcher, Pied Oystercatcher and Caspian Tern. The mudflats exposed at low tide form a roosting site for waders.[Brothers, Nigel; Pemberton, David; Pryor, Helen; & Halley, Vanessa. (2001).
