Boomer Island is a special island located in the south-east part of Tasmania, Australia. It's called a tied island because it's connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. A large castle has been built on this island. A person named Gunter Jaeger, who is a businessman, owns the island.
Who Owns Boomer Island?
The land around Boomer Island, from the high-water mark up to 30 meters inland, is owned by the government. This is called Crown land. However, the main part of the island, which is surrounded by this government land, is owned by a private individual.
Where is Boomer Island Located?
Boomer Island is connected to the mainland by a man-made land bridge. This bridge is called an artificial tombolo. It stretches across Boomer Bay, which is part of a larger area called Blackman Bay. You can see pictures of Boomer Island in many public photos.
