Iron Pot

It is part of the Betsey Island Group and is located near the entrance to the River Derwent, approximately 11 kilometres southeast of Hobart, Tasmania.

[4] While Iron Pot is uninhabited, it is a popular destination for tourists due to its historical significance and proximity to Hobart.

Guided tours of the island are offered by Pennicott Wilderness Journeys, departing from Constitution Dock in Sullivans Cove.

Access to the island is limited due to its small size and the surrounding shallow waters, making it best approached by boat from nearby South Arm.

The name of the island has also appeared in Tasmanian art and literature, reflecting its iconic status as one of Tasmania’s oldest navigational landmarks.
