They are, with Macquarie Island, part of Tasmania, Australia.[1] They are in the Macquarie Island Nature Reserve and were inscribed in 1997 on the UNESCO World Heritage Area,[2] and form a Special Management Area within the nature reserve. They are very infrequently visited and are free of introduced animals and plants.[3]
