Neighbouring Islands
The nearby Brook Islands are smaller and made up of North, Tween, Middle and South islands, the first three of which comprise the Brook Islands National Park. These islands are used mainly by nesting birds. It is important not to disturb the birds during breeding seasons. Birds found here include the Torresian Imperial-pigeon (estimated at over 40,000), Bridled Terns, Black-naped Terns, Roseate Terns and Little Terns. The Beach Stone-curlews also makes North Brook Island its home.

Famous quotes containing the word neighbouring:
“I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
