Hobbs Island, also known as Green Island, is an unpopulated island located close to the south-western coast of Tasmania, Australia. Situated some 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) north of where the mouth of Port Davey meets the Southern Ocean, the 9.7-hectare (24-acre) island is part of the Trumpeter Islets Group, and comprises part of the Southwest National Park and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site.^[1]^[2]

Fauna

The island is part of the Port Davey Islands Important Bird Area, so identified by BirdLife International because of its importance for breeding seabirds.^[3] Recorded breeding seabird and wader species are the little penguin (11,000 pairs), short-tailed shearwater (11,000 pairs), Pacific gull, sooty oystercatcher and pied oystercatcher. The rakali has been recorded from the island. The Tasmanian tree skink is present.^[2]
