List of islands of Western Australia, U–Z facts for kids
Western Australia is a huge state with a very long coastline, and because of this, it has many, many islands! An island is a piece of land completely surrounded by water. Some are big, like a small country, while others are tiny, just a rock sticking out of the ocean.
This article is a list of some of the islands found in Western Australia. It includes all kinds of islands, from small isles and islets (which are very small islands) to larger island groups called archipelagos. You'll find islands along the coast and even some in inland waters.
The information in this list comes from official records up to 1996. While we've checked the names, any new islands or changes since then might not be included. The names are listed here in a normal way, even though official government lists often use all capital letters.
