List of islands of Western Australia, R–T facts for kids
Western Australia is home to many amazing islands! An island is a piece of land completely surrounded by water. Some are big, like Rottnest Island, while others are tiny, like a small islet or a sandy cay. This list helps us keep track of all these different landforms.
You'll find all sorts of islands here, whether they are along the coast or in inland waters. This list also includes groups of islands, called archipelagos, and even small collections of islands.
This information comes from an official book called the Gazetteer of Australia, which was updated in 1996. All the names have been checked to make sure they are correct. If any new islands have been officially named or removed since 1996, they might not be on this list yet. The names are usually written in capital letters in official documents, but here they are written with normal capital letters to make them easier to read. The locations are also official. Remember, some islands can be very large!
