Lady Barron

Lady Barron occupies the shore of Franklin Sound in Tasmania’s Furneaux Group, and its position at Flinders Island’s southern end has made it a practical port for the island. The sound separates Flinders Island from Cape Barren Island, placing the settlement amid the Bass Strait islands rather than on Tasmania’s main island. Fishing boats and coastal shipping remain part of the town’s identity, while the nearby coast is marked by beaches, granite headlands and changeable maritime weather. The Furneaux Group also holds deep and continuing significance for Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
