Flinders Island Region

Flinders Island and the Furneaux Group lie in Bass Strait, offering granite mountains, secluded beaches and abundant wildlife. Farming, fishing and tourism sustain the community, and the island is famed for its rock lobster and mutton birds. Locals seek out a tide‑pool jacuzzi hidden among boulders and gather for folk music nights at a community hall built from driftwood.
