The Western Rocks, also known as Black Rocks, comprise a pair of steep islets, wave-washed in heavy storms, with a combined area of 0.29 ha, in south-eastern Australia. They are part of the Maatsuyker Island Group, lying close to the southern end of the south-western coast of Tasmania. They are part of the Southwest National Park, and thus within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Site.[1]
The only recorded breeding seabird species is the Fairy Prion with up to 20 pairs in a small patch of succulent vegetation.[1]
