Bass Strait.
Neds Reef
Neds Reef is a group of three small granite islets, joined at low tide by extensive mudflats, with a combined area of about 3 ha, in south-eastern Australia. They are part of Tasmania’s Tin Kettle Island Group, lying in eastern Bass Strait between Flinders and Cape Barren Islands in the Furneaux Group.[1] The reef is part of the Franklin Sound Islands Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because it holds over 1% of the world populations of six bird species.[2]
Fauna
Recorded breeding seabird and wader species are little penguin, Pacific gull, silver gull, sooty oystercatcher, Caspian tern and white-fronted tern.[1]
