The Skerries comprise three small, rocky islands 100 metres (330 ft) offshore from the mouth of the Wingan River, in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.[1]
The islands are part of Croajingolong National Park. They are the site of a significant Australian fur seal colony, with an estimated 14,000 seals (12.4% of the population) in 2010.[2]
