History
Nicolas Baudin named the island in 1801 as part of his expedition around Australia.[3][note 1] The name of the island was first charted on the Freycinet Map of 1811. It was declared a Nature Reserve in 2001 in recognition of its status as a bird breeding sanctuary. Since then the Department of Environment and Conservation has embarked on a campaign to eradicate the island of the Polynesian Rats that are a constant threat to the native seabirds.[4]
An acetylene-powered lighthouse was built on the island in 1951 it was later upgraded to solar power in 1985.[5]
