This article is about the pair of islands near Cape Grim. For the single island in Bass Strait, see Doughboy Island (Tasmania).
The Doughboys are a pair of islands near Cape Grim, the northwestern point of Tasmania, Australia. The western island has an area of 5.4 hectares (13 acres) and the eastern island has an area of 7 hectares (17 acres). The two islands form part of the Trefoil Island Group.[1]
In June 2021, the Tasmanian Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment, after consultation with local Aboriginal groups, approved the dual naming of the island pair as Koindrim. The dual name is intended to be represented in maps and publications as Koindrim / The Doughboys. This followed the approval in March 2021, after similar consultation, of names for the two islands. The eastern island's new name is Kaninerwidic (pronounced (Ka_nina_widic), while the westernmost one is Karrernootong (pronounced Kara_nu_tong).[2]
