Middle Island (South Australia)

Middle Island is the largest of three islands off the far south-western coast of Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. Approximately 28 ha in size, it sits within Pondalowie Bay, Spencer Gulf and is part of Innes National Park. It is also located within a Habitat Protection Zone of the Southern Spencer Gulf Marine Park. The smaller island to the south is known as South Island, while another to the north is known as either North Island or Royston Island. DEWNR lists the islands as 'no access' areas for the general public.
