In the early days of the Swan River Colony the island was used as a penal settlement for Indigenous Australians. Swan River Colony was a British settlement established at the Swan River on the west coast of Australia in 1829 Indigenous Australians are descendants of the first known human inhabitants of the Australian continent and its nearby islands.
The island is home to Australian Sea Lions, Bottlenose Dolphins and a large range of marine bird life. The Australian Sea Lion ( Neophoca cinerea) is a species of Sea lion that breeds only on the south and west coasts of Australia. The Bottlenose Dolphin is one of the most common and well-known Dolphins. It is particularly noted for the abundance of snakes, particularly Tiger Snakes, which live on the island. Tiger snakes are a type of venomous serpent found in southern regions of Australia, including its coastal islands and Tasmania. For this reason, very few people venture onto the island. There is no permanent fresh water on the island, and this provides a challenge for the permanent species on the island. The origins of the Tiger Snake colony has attracted significant debate and research into how that species has adapted to a harsh island habitat. Tiger snakes are a type of venomous serpent found in southern regions of Australia, including its coastal islands and Tasmania.
