It is the largest of three islands within the bay with an approximate area of 28 hectares (69 acres). It first obtained protected area status as a fauna conservation reserve declared under the Crown Lands Act 1929-1966 on 16 March 1967 and is currently located within the boundaries of the Innes National Park.[1] It is also located within a habitat protection zone of the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park.[2][3] DEWNR lists the islands as 'no access' areas for the general public.[4]
