Flinders Council

The terrain of Flinders Council ranges from granite headlands and beaches on Bass Strait to the rugged Strzelecki Peaks in southern Flinders Island, giving the Furneaux islands a distinctly maritime, mountainous character. The council encompasses Flinders Island and smaller islands in the eastern Bass Strait, the channel between Tasmania and mainland Australia. Mount Strzelecki, at 756 metres, is the island’s highest point. Granite outcrops shape both the coastline and inland slopes. The Wybalenna Historic Site recalls the forced removal of Aboriginal Tasmanians to Flinders Island during the 1830s.
