Wright Rock is a small, steep-sided granite island, with an area of 9.36 ha, in south-eastern Australia. It is part of Tasmania’s Bass Pyramid Group, lying in northern Bass Strait between Flinders Island and the Kent Group. It has been a nature reserve since 5 April 1978.
Fauna edit
Recorded breeding seabird species include Pacific gull and silver gull. It is also an important haul-out site for Australian fur seals, with pups being born there occasionally.[1]
