	Cape Barren Island - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cape Barren Island is located off the north east coast of Tasmania, Australia, and is one of the islands of the Furneaux Group in Bass Strait.
		The largest island of the group, Flinders Island, lies to the north, with the smaller Clarke Island to the south.
		Cape Barren, with the other islands in the Furneaux group, are a popular destination for sea kayakers who try to cross the Bass Strait from the Australian mainland to the Tasmanian mainland.

	Cape Breton Island
		The island measures 10,311 square kilometres in area (3,981 square miles), making it the 75th largest island in the world, and is composed mainly of rocky shores, rolling farmland, glacial valleys, barren headlands, mountains, forests and plateaus.
		Cape Breton's landscape is dominated by the Bras d'Or Lake system, which the island wraps around, the Strait of Canso, and the Cape Breton Highlands, which are considered a continuation of the Appalachian chain.
		Cape Breton is now joined to the mainland by the Canso Causeway, completed in 1955, enabling direct road and rail traffic to and from the island, but constraining marine traffic to pass through the Canso Canal at the eastern end of the causeway.

	About Flinders Island
		Located 20 km north of Cape Portland (north east tip of Tasmania) by sea and 151 km from Launceston by air, Flinders Island is the largest of the Furneaux group of islands which lie at the eastern end of Bass Strait separating Tasmania from Victoria.
		The island was first identified by Europeans when Tobias Furneaux, the commander of Captain Cook’s support ship, became separated from the Endeavour in fog and discovered the Furneaux group of islands on 19 march 1773.
		The geology of the islands is dominated by ridges of granite which occupy about a third of the islands, including the striking features, that dominate the skyline of the Strezelecki Range, Darling Range, Mount Killercrankie and the Patriarchs, as well as the higher peaks of Cape Barren Island.

		The Cape Barren Island population was also found at high altitude, in granitic soils, within a moist rainforest gully.
		The presence of the species within the Strzelecki National Park on Flinders Island provides habitat protection eliminating the immediate threat of extinction, while the Cape Barren Island population is not protected within a gazetted reserve.
		In short, a survey of Flinders, Cape Barren, and surrounding islands should be undertaken to determine the full range of the species.

		The King Island project will result in a 50 percent increase in the contribution of wind energy to the island's electricity, and should provide greater system reliability.
