Image Caption: STS081-749-007 King Island, Tasmania, Australia January 1997
King Island is located between Cape Otway (Victoria) and the northwest tip of Tasmania. The Bass Strait is east of the island and the Southern Ocean is west of King Island. The thin, highly reflective line along the north and east coast shows the location of extensive sandy beaches. King Island measures 40 miles (64 km) in length and 17 miles (27 km) in width. The island's major agricultural focus is in pastoral activities. Farm products are mainly related to the beef, dairy, and sheep industry. The darker landscape on the island maps the distribution and location of the more heavily forested areas, while the majority of the terrain (lighter-colored) is being used for the sustainability and further development of an active pastoral economy. The southern hemisphere's tallest lighthouse is located at Cape Wickam, at the northern (bottom center) end of the island.
