North East Reef

North East Reef is a reef in the Wallabi Group of the Houtman Abrolhos, in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Western Australia. Located at 28°25′13″S 113°48′41″E,[1][2] it takes its name from the fact that it is situated to the north-east of the main body of islands that makes up the Wallabi Group.[3] The island is part of the Houtman Abrolhos Important Bird Area, identified as such by BirdLife International because of its importance for supporting large numbers of breeding seabirds.[4]
