Mid Woody Islet

Mid Woody Islet is a small island, with an area of 0.66 ha, in south-eastern Australia.

The island is joined at low tide to nearby Anderson, Little Anderson and Tin Kettle Islands by extensive intertidal mudflats.[1] The island is part of the Franklin Sound Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because it holds over 1% of the world populations of six bird species.[2]
