Clonmel Island is a sand island in Corner Inlet, in the Gippsland region of Victoria, Australia. Located within the Nooramunga Marine and Coastal Park, it is a part of a complex of barrier islands that protects a large marine embayment from the pounding waves of the Bass Strait.[1] It is one of the five major islands of Corner Inlet, a Ramsar site, and hosts significant breeding colonies of Caspian terns, crested terns, and Australian fairy terns.[2]
