King Island Region
Located in Bass Strait, King Island is famed for its gourmet cheeses, beef and wild coastal scenery with roaring swells and shipwrecks. The island’s lighthouses, kelp forests and ocean‑view golf courses attract adventurous travellers. Residents revel in a secluded cove where shellfish are abundant and share homemade curries at an unmarked community curry night held monthly in Currie.
King Island Council has an approximate area of 1,100 km².
It is within the state electorate of Braddon.
