Flinders Island Place » Island Flinders Island, the largest island in the Furneaux Group, is a 1,367-square-kilometre (528 sq mi) island in the Bass Strait, northeast of the island of Tasmania. It’s as spectacularly wild and rugged as the people are warm and welcoming, and like its location, the experience is truly unique. It is 54 kilometres (34 mi) from Cape Portland. 429 views 💖 1Australia |
