Sisters Island (Tasmania)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sisters Island is a small island with an area of 1.43 ha, off Sisters Beach on the north-west coast of Tasmania, south-eastern Australia.
Sisters Island could be confused with the similarly named Sisters Island Group in the Furneaux Group of north-eastern Tasmania, although the latter name is unofficial.
[edit] Flora and fauna
Much of the island is covered with a dense canopy of Coprosma repens. Recorded breeding seabird and wader species include Little Penguin, Short-tailed Shearwater, Pacific Gull and Sooty Oystercatcher.[1]
