The Lachlan Island, part of the Maria Island Group, is an island with an area of about 2.5ha lying close to the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia. The island is located near the Freycinet Peninsula, situated midway between Maria Island and the Tasmanian mainland.[1]
Recorded breeding seabird and wader species are little penguin, short-tailed shearwater, kelp gull, sooty oystercatcher and Caspian tern. Rabbits were introduced in the early 20th century and were eventually eradicated in the 1990s.[1]
