Peron Islands

The Peron Islands are a small Australian island off the western coast of the Northern Territory. They lie in the Anson Bay about 5 km west of the settlement of Channel Point and 22 km north- west of the mouth of the Daly River.

The group consists of two flat sandy islands with a total area of 24.6 km. Between the much larger North Peron Iceland ( 19.1 km ² ) and the south-east thereof lying South Peron Iceland (5.5 km ²) is a 2.5 km wide, but very shallow channel ( The Causeway ). North Peron in Iceland reached a grassy hill in the north a height of nearly 30 meters. In addition, the island shores are covered by mangroves.

The islands are uninhabited. However, they are often triggered by sailors and sport fishermen.
