A small island of approximately 182 hectares.
It is interesting to note that Liversidge in his Minerals of New South Wales text comments that: "Collins, in his account of the English colony of New South Wales, states that Mr. Bass, the surgeon of H.M.S. Reliance, found on the beach of Preservation Island (on the north coast of Tasmania, near the south cooast of Barren Island) "a very considerable quantity of the black metallic particles, which appear in the granite as black shining specks, and are in all probability grains of tin." Tinstone, or cassiterite, is commonly known simply as "tin" by Cornish miners and others."
