The Goat Island is a small and unpopulated granite island, located in the Bass Strait, lying off the north-west coast of Tasmania, Australia.[1] The island is situated between Penguin and Ulverstone and can be walked to at low tide. It houses a breeding colony of little penguins.[2]
Along with the nearby Three Sisters, the island is part of the 37-hectare (91-acre) Three Sisters – Goat Island Nature Reserve.[3]
