Offshore Islands and Groups
- Michaelmas Island: deep water all way round 30-60 metres, although there is small patch on the North side (between it and the main land, that large ships anchor at times, in water 15-20 metres deep
- Breaksea Island: this has a light house on it, deep water all way around, 30-60 metres
- Mistaken Island, hmmmm, only with very good local knowledge you can sail around it, very shallow channel on the West side, some rocks ("Two Sisters") on the East side, where seas are nearly always breaking
- Eclipse Island: Lighthouse is no longer in use (de-commissioned approx in 2000)
- Green Islands: indeed there are 2 islands named as such. One in King George Sound with clear deep water all round, 20-40 metres of water. The other Green Island is in Oyster Harbour with shallow water around it, sea weed over rocky ground, in 0.5 to 2 metres of water. One would not like to get on this island, or downwind from it, due to the awful bird-poo smell. Thousands of seagulls, pelicans and other birds breed here.
Then there some "rocks" in King George Sound: Gull rock, Rock Dunder and Flat Rock.
None of the above islands and rocks can be accessed easily, no beaches; large swell with rocky coast makes it quite dangerous. In fact most islands are nature reserves anyway. Rock Dunder, in particular, can throw enormous plumes of foamy white water into the air, when there is a swell coming in from the South.
