Fatima Island

Fatima Island is a small island on Cooks River in Tempe, New South Wales, Australia.

A low-lying sandbar,[1] it is a refuge for Australian pelicans, egrets and silver gulls.

[2] It was named in 1951 for a Portuguese statue of Our Lady of Fátima.

[1] The island is slowly being washed away, something that is of concern to local environmentalists.
