:''For the Welsh islets, see Bishops and Clerks.''
The 'Bishop and Clerk Islets' lie approximately 37 km to the south of Macquarie Island. They are 0.6 km² in area. The Bishop and Clerk Islets mark the southernmost point of Australia (including islands). These islets are mostly barren rock less than 50m high and are geologically similar to Macquarie Island.^[1]
Imperial Shags (Macquarie Shags) have been recorded nesting at the Bishop and Clerk Islets.^[2] A colony of Black-browed Albatrosses was discovered in 1965 on these islets.^[3]
