Browse Island is a small, approximately 14-hectare (35-acre), uninhabited island lying in the Timor Sea about 180 km (110 mi) north-west of the Kimberley coast of north-western Australia. It is a Western Australian Nature Reserve that is classed as 'Not Class A'[a] vested with the state Conservation Commission and managed by the Department of Environment and Conservation.[1][2] It is considered Western Australia's most remote island,[3] and is also one of the most remote Australian islands to not fall under external territory status.
