The Mackerel Islets are two small islands in south-eastern Australia. They are part of the Tasman Island Group, lying close to the south-eastern coast of Tasmania around the Tasman Peninsula.Brothers et al (2001), p.606.
Flora and fauna The larger eastern islet contains stands of blackwood, surrounded by introduced grasses and pigface. The western islet is a flat, rocky reef, without vegetation, that is used as a roost site by black-faced cormorants.Brothers et al (2001), p.606.
