Round Island (Tasmania)

Round Island is a small island located off the north-east coast of Tasmania, Australia. It is part of the Furneaux Group, a collection of islands lying in Bass Strait. The island is relatively low-lying, characterized by its circular shape, from which it derives its name. Its relatively small size limits its biodiversity, although it supports a range of native Tasmanian flora and fauna, adapted to the coastal environment. The island is uninhabited and largely undeveloped, with minimal human impact. Access is generally limited, requiring boat travel, and its remoteness contributes to its ecological significance. Further research may be needed to fully detail its specific geology, flora, and fauna populations.
