You may know about Tasmania, a sharktooth shaped island encompassing an area of 68,401 sq. kilometers and 26,410 sq. miles in southeastern AUSTRALIA. However, are you familiar with the over 300 smaller islands surrounding Tasmania? If not, here are some of those islands: Badger, Bruny, Cape Barren, Clarke, Curtis, De Witt, Deal, Flinders, Hogan, Hunter, King, Maatsuyker, Maria, Robbins, Schouten, Three Hummock, Walker, and Waterhouse. Much smaller than Tasmania, the largest island of the minor islands is Flinders with an area of 1,367 sq. kilometers and 527.8 sq. miles. A majority of the islands surrounding Tasmania are not inhabited by people, including Hogan, Hunter, Maria, and Waterhouse. Some but not all of the larger inhabited islands contain communities and towns. These include Adventure Bay, Alonnah, Dennes Point, Great Bay, Lunawanna, North Bruny, and South Bruny on Bruny island; Emita, Lady Barron, Loccota, Whitemark, and Wingaroo on Flinders island; and Currie, Egg Harbor, Grassy, Loorana, and Naracoopa on King island.
