Rodondo Island, Nature reserve on a granite island in Bass Strait, Tasmania, Australia
The island extends over 106 hectares with cliffs reaching 200 meters high and a peak elevation of 350 meters above sea level.
Lieutenant James Grant spotted the island from HMS Lady Nelson on December 9, 1800, naming it after a similar rock in the West Indies.
The island forms part of the Wilsons Promontory Islands Important Bird Area, recognized by BirdLife International for seabird breeding populations.
The steep cliffs surrounding Rodondo Island create access limitations for vessels, maintaining its natural protection status established in 1976.
The southern water skink exists exclusively on Rodondo Island within Tasmanian territory, alongside metallic skinks and White's skinks.
