Satellite Island (43°19'S., 147°13'E.) lies about 1 mile N of the E entrance point of Little Taylor Bay. The island is cultivated and has a thick grove of trees on its W side. There is a pier, with a depth of 2.4m, on the NE side of the island. About 0.7 mile ENE of the island stands the village of Alonnah, at which there is a breakwater. A light is shown on each corner of the seaward end of the breakwater. A stranded wreck, marked by a light, lies about 0.3 mile SW of the breakwater. A light is shown from the shore about 1 mile NNE of Alonnah Breakwater. Isthmus Bay (43°15'S., 147°19'E.) is entered between Simpsons Point, the N extremity of South Bruny Island, and The Bluff, 2.5 miles E of Simpsons Point. The E shore of the bay consists of a narrow isthmus, which is bordered by a flat on its W side, and which joins South Bruny Island to North Bruny Is land in its center and separates the waters of D'Entrecasteaux Channel from those of Adventure Bay. The village of Simpsons Bay lies on the W side of the bay. There is a small pier, for vessels drawing 2.4m, close off the village.
