Bass Pyramid

The Bass Pyramid is a small, steep-sided granite island, with an area of <1 ha, in south-eastern Australia. It is part of Tasmania’s Bass Pyramid Group, lying in northern Bass Strait between Flinders Island and the Kent Group. It was used intermittently from the 1940s until 1988 as a bombing and shelling target by the Australian airforce and navy. It is now a nature reserve.

Fauna

Recorded breeding seabird and wader species include Fairy Prion, Common Diving-Petrel, Pacific Gull, Silver Gull and Sooty Oystercatcher. It is also a haul-out site for Australian Fur Seals.Brothers, Nigel; Pemberton, David; Pryor, Helen; & Halley, Vanessa. (2001). "Tasmania’s Offshore Islands: seabirds and other natural features".
