Bishop and Clerk Islets

The Bishop and Clerk Islets lie approximately 33 kilometers (20 mi) to the south of Macquarie Island. They are 0.6 km² (0.2 sq mi) in area. The Bishop and Clerk Islets mark the southernmost point of Australia (including islands). These islets are mostly barren rock less than 50 meters (165 ft) high and are geologically similar to Macquarie Island.

Imperial Shags (Macquarie Shags) have been recorded nesting at the Bishop and Clerk Islets. A colony of Black-browed Albatrosses was discovered in 1965 on these islets.
