Dorre Island  Dorre Island is one of three islands that make up the "Bernier and Dorre Island Nature Reserve" in the Shark Bay World Heritage area in Western Australia. The island is named after Peter Dorre, the pilot of a Dutch vessel, the "Eendracht", in 1616. It was, with Bernier Island, a lock hospital location in the early 1900s. Daisy Bates was given the name "Kabbarli" (grandmother) at Dorre Island. It is located at the north-western corner of the World Heritage area, almost due west of Carnarvon, Western Australia. It is separated from Bernier Island to its north by a 0.5 km gap with a depth of 4 m. "Cape St Cricq" is the southernmost point, while "Cape Boullanger" is the northernmost point of the Island. Due to its location south of Bernier, and on the northern side of the opening into Shark Bay where Cape Inscription on Dirk Hartog Island lies to the south, some wrecks and remains have been found. The banded hare-wallaby and rufous hare-wallaby are both threatened mammal species that were once found on the mainland but are now both restricted to Dorre and Bernier Island. The rufous hare-wallaby is being reintroduced to mainland Australia.
