Booby Island, once known as White Island, is a 3-hectare (7.4-acre) uninhabited island in the Bonaparte Archipelago of the Kimberley region of Western Australia. It was renamed in 2004 to avoid confusion with another "White Island" in the Kimberley region.[1] It is classified by BirdLife International as an Important Bird Area because it supports more than 1% of the world's population of brown boobies, with a breeding colony of up to 2,000 pairs.[2]
