Bonnet Island is a low island with an area of 2.21 ha. It lies at the entrance to Macquarie Harbour in Western Tasmania Australia, in the vicinity of Hells Gates.[1][2] Due to its location and proximity to the entrance, it was involved as part the Macquarie Harbour Breakwater construction.[3]

Bonnet Island has a lighthouse, which was built before the Cape Sorell Lighthouse.[4]

Since November 2009, it has been opened up to tourists.[5]

As one of the Macquarie Harbour islands, and in the area of the entrance to the harbour, it has been surveyed and documented regularly.[6]

Fauna

About 250 pairs of little penguin breed on the island. Other species present include the metallic skink and short-tailed shearwaters.[1][5]
