👉 Wilsons Promontory in the context of Boundary Islet

Boundary Islet, historically known as North East Islet, is a 2-hectare (4.9-acre) islet in the Hogan Island Group of Bass Strait, at a latitude of 39°12′ S, about 56 kilometres (35 mi) east of the southernmost point of mainland Victoria. The islet straddles the maritime border of the Australian states of Victoria and Tasmania, hence the name.

The Tasmanian portion of the islet forms that state's North East Islet Nature Reserve, gazetted on 5 April 1978. The reserve's name was conferred prior to the islet's change of name, to Boundary Islet, under Tasmanian legislation. This change was gazetted on 28 March 1990.
