We were privileged to visit the magical Albatross Island west of Three Hummock Island. The island has no inhabitants - just the wildlife, particularly Shy Albatross Diomedea cauta. Friends of ours, Casey, Mel, Sam and Amy took us over in their boat. It was a perfect day weather wise to make the journey and we spent a couple of hours exploring the island and enjoyed viewing the fascinating Shy Albatross that breed there.

Looking back towards Three Hummock Island - you can see the three hummocks clearly from Albatross island - this aspect shows why both islands were so named.
