The Inner Rocks comprise a group of three steep rocky unpopulated islets located close to the south-western coast of Tasmania, Australia. Situated adjacent to the Southern Ocean, the 0.23-hectare (0.57-acre) islets are part of the Southwest National Park and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site.[1][2]
The vegetation is dominated by ferns and the succulent plant pig face. Recorded breeding seabird species are the fairy prion (102 pairs) and common diving-petrel (100 pairs). The metallic skink is present.[2]
