The Trumpeter Islets comprise a group of two islets, with a combined area of about a hectare, in south-eastern Australia. They are part of the Trumpeter Islets Group, lying close to the southern end of the western coast of Tasmania, about 6 km north of the entrance to Port Davey. They are also part of the Southwest National Park, and thus within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site.[1]

Fauna

Recorded breeding seabird and wader species are the Little Penguin (1000 pairs), Short-tailed Shearwater (1000 pairs), Pacific Gull, Silver Gull, Sooty Oystercatcher, Black-faced Cormorant and Caspian Tern. The Tasmanian Tree Skink is present.[1]
