Reid Rocks

Reid Rocks is a small island nature reserve in south-eastern Australia.[1] It is part of Tasmania’s New Year Island Group,[2] which includes the much larger King Island, lying north-west of Tasmania in Bass Strait. It is frequently wave-washed and lacks vegetation.

Fauna

Reid Rocks is the only breeding site for Australian fur seals in western Bass Strait. During the 1990s annual mean seal pup production was 1500.[2]

gollark: <@!692654568827387986> I'm pretty sure you're wrong about encryption here. You can't just magically decrypt stuff without the key. Encrypted data you don't have the key for is indistinguishable from random noise.
gollark: It still has calls to Google stuff in it, they're just visibly there.
