Ashmore and Cartier Islands are a territory off the northwest coast of Australia.
These uninhabited islands came under Australian authority in 1931; formal administration began two years later. Ashmore Reef supports a rich and diverse avian and marine habitat; in 1983 it became a National Nature Reserve. Cartier Island, a former bombing range, is now a marine reserve.

[edit] Get in
It is a protected area so basically, no one can really get in the island. Except the traditional fishers of the area. A permit from the Australian government is needed for tourists/civilians to set foot in the islands.
