Reid Rocks

Australian nature reserve

Reid Rocks  is a small island nature reserve in south-eastern Australia.[1] It is part of Tasmania’s New Year Island Group,[2] which includes the much larger King Island, lying north-west of Tasmania in Bass Strait. It is frequently wave-washed and lacks vegetation.

## Fauna[edit]

Reid Rocks is the only breeding site for Australian fur seals in western Bass Strait. During the 1990s annual mean seal pup production was 1500.[2]
