About

The Actaeon Island, part of the Actaeon Island Group, is a 15.65-hectare (38.7-acre) dolerite island and game reserve located at the southern entrance to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel between Bruny Island and the mainland, that lies close to the south-eastern coast of Tasmania, Australia. The island is named for the ship Actaeon, which wrecked there in 1822.

There is a navigation beacon on the highest point, 14 metres (46 ft) AHD.
