It is separated from Bernier Island to its north by a 0.5 km gap with a depth of 4 m. ''Cape St Cricq'' is the southernmost point, while ''Cape Boullanger'' is the northernmost point of the Island. Due to its location south of Bernier, and on the northern side of the opening into Shark Bay where Cape Inscription on Dirk Hartog Island lies to the south, some wrecks and remains have been found. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorre Island」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
